Experienced Scrapper
Been scrappin' since I was 10 years old and I learn something new every day! My tenant gave me a small bucket of scrap from the back of his truck. He's an oilfield worker. Got about 8 pounds of what he called tungsten.
A magnet just barely attracts to it.
Wonder how to test it. The spot market price is $35 kg.
Anyone know how I'd get the most out of it?

Pick a yard and have them shoot it with their gun so they/you know exactly what it is, whether they will buy it is another story.

If it is solid tungsten it should be grey in colour, and dense. Imagine what 8 pounds of lead looks like - if it is tungsten it will be something like half the size of the lead, but with all the weight.

S.A.R.S in san antonio buys any and all e-waste. They say if you can plug it in the wall they will buy it. I took some motherboards and other stuff i pulled out of cpu's. They are paying about $2.65 a pound for motherboards, not sure on the price of low grade boards, but they will buy them.Originally Posted by Kenneth Schustereit
If the material is in fact tungsten carbide, we're paying $12.00 per lb. for clean material without steel or silver brazing attached. Just call 800-526-3505 for additional information.
