This is not a coil but a straight section of baseboard heat type radiator. I didn't weigh anything beforehand as they were all random lengths, I suppose I could have cut a one foot section and did a before and after.
The copper pipe on these is thin walled a lot of times, not the denser pipe used for plumbing. I'm guessing at the ratio of about 80% copper to 20% aluminum. Copper went as #2 due to solder joints and aluminum fins went as sheet.
Copperhead...that blade is just a thin cut off blade from Home Depot.
