    finally found you guys!

    hi ya'll i am a texan living in iowa. i live in a college town and have always been a dumpster diver. started by hauling metal bed and futon frames to the scrap yard for a few dollars but am looking to ramp it up and start taking things apart into more valuable metals. i have an 8-5 but believe me i spend a lot of time on SMF during the day and would much rather be outside. still learning how to do this, I'm a 43 year old mother of 2 who enjoy going "treasure hunting" with me. I have a F150, a garage and a lot of willingness to learn and work hard. i don't mind asking questions and reading a lot to educate myself. love reading the forum. looking forward to learning more with you guys.

    And a far flung hello from my sandbar off the NC coast!

    It's amazing how quick that 'treasure finding bug" can bite and take effect! You've just found your home away from home thanks to all the information the members here have been so kind to share with everyone. So kick back..grab a drink..adult/soda/whatever I won't judge you, and let your brain swell with all the information your about to go thru. :P

    Good luck and again..welcome to the forums!

    Welcome to the forum. Many threads on the great scores found in college dumpsters at the end of semesters. With your attitude and willingness to work and study you will do well. Mike.
