    Jigsaw Bill from Alabama just got here

    I stumbled across this forum today and like what I have read. I am a resident of Higdon, Alabama which is on the north end of Sand Mountain just a short way from Chattanooga. I'm 79 years old and have been junking all my life, but just started into electronic recycling. Brand new world and got lots to learn. One thing this is a long way from skinning wire and cleaning radiators. Back in the nineties I worked at a gold mine in Winterhaven Ca. where we leached the gold with cyanide. I gotta soak up some of yall's knowledge.

    Welcome from the Dakota's. It is nice to have some nice young blood on the forum. You have a great deal of information to share with us whipper snappers. I personally retired from two professionals and finally found my true calling. Please share and pictures are precious.

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Welcome from ky. I recently got into electronics scrapping myself after hauling junk and non ferrous for about 10+ years. This forum and the ppl here have helped me out so much. There is so much info on here, I can't begin to explain it. Also, there is some really cool and very smart ppl here. I learn at least something everyday, usually several somethings. If u don't, it is only ur own fault
