Success in my basement

After posting my introduction today I went to basement to clear out a work space. After moving some things and organizing tools i found 6 ft of copper pipe, 12ft length of copper wire from old elect boiler, brass and copper fittings and a 1/3 hp motor. All was left behind by previous owner. Needless to say I dug right into the motor and am now the proud owner of a brand new 5oz ball of copper wire....lol. BTW this site is awesome, have been reading non stop, have written down 10 pages of notes and ideas of how to attain scrap. Sorry this is a bit long but I feel like a kid in a candy store......Hope I am able to pay it foward to all of you at some point !!!!!!:

Killer find! My sister is closing on a house so I CANT WAIT to see what the previous owners leave behind. Hopefully nothing like hu-lahoops and wooden doors.

The funny thing is this stuff has been in basement closet since we moved in in 2000, basement is not finished and closet is in laundry room. Wish it were gold it would have appreciated 10 fold in 12 yrs...lol. The Wife wants to tear up the walls and look for bags of money!!!!!!
