    The original goal was to sell when I had twelve of them full. With the new trailer I might shoot for twenty. This is part of my savings plan for the wife's retirement vacation. Non-ferrous is collected and stored this way because my main hauls are ferrous. I am hoping to negotiate a great price when it is all cashed in.



    Some hedge against inflation with gold and silver or invest in the stock market and some save cash for a rainy day. This seems to complicated for this simple mind. Therefore I collect non-ferrous for these situations. Yes the value of scrap may decline, but I will still be able to make bullets and fishing weights. Old timers will remember the discussions about turn and burn or stockpile when prices were low. Stockpiling is still my strategy and pictures will be provided in the future to show my non-ferrous sheds.
