    New Hobbyist in Bloomington, IN

    Hey all. I'm in Bloomington, IN and have been interested in doing this as a hobby for now with also having the focus of recovering precious metals as well so I'll probably be leaning more towards e-waste. I don't have a trailer or even a truck so I'll be going pretty small-time for now. Any tips and such are appreciated and I'm going to get started in the Basics section

    Welcome to the forum. My old tried and true advise: Read the old threads and keep up on the new ones. This will open many areas you are unaware of and lead you to more profits. The education here is free and it will help you on your path. When you are able pass on some of your knowledge to the other members. 73, Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

    Welcome Nubs,

    The beginner section has helped me a lot, so I think you're heading in the right direction.
