Some yards have a magnetic stainless category, but from my personal experience it's not common. Had a bunch of silverware when I first started. Sorted out all of it visually. If it was marked stainless, it went together. Took it to the yard and when they hit it with the magnet, they said sorry, steel pile with that. Called the other yard I occasionally used back then and they said it was about 2 cents/lb higher than steel. But first yard is about 4 miles away, second yard is a solid 20. Wouldn't be worth the drive unless the truck bed was full of the silverware. Lol. If your yard doesn't have a non-mag category, as the old saying goes, a magnet is your best friend.
