    Lets look at the real picture . A yard can easily have 150 customers a day @ 6 days (yards by me are open 7 days a week)
    so skim a $10 spot from 150 customers = $1500 per day & $1500 X 6 = $9000
    and a month is 4 weeks and some months are 5 weeks so $9000 X 4.2 weeks = $37,800.00
    I generally do let a pound slide here and there But the metals we find are resources with out side forces trying to stop people like me from pulling from the curb, so its all really valuable to me

    If any one reads the start of my post I said the copper was in a bucket weighing 6 lbs .8 oz I meant to type 5 lb 8 oz or average it to 6
