    If you have any access to these little buggers..those little circle things that come wrapped in copper. That copper wire makes lovely jewelry. I usually find them in TV's an such but their all over. I have a couple boxes of them. lol. My wife likes to use the wire off those things for various little crafty projects.

    Just another idea till the yard prices pick up for ya!

    AL is even lower by you! We are at .35 cents a pound. And whoa, you've got a lot of steel stocked up!
