    hi from nc

    hi all,
    ive been lurking for several weeks and have found lots of helpful info already. ive spent a lot of time here reading old threads about escrap, and am really looking forward to taking advantage of the knowledge here.
    i started collecting beer cans about five years ago,and when it came time to clean up our backyard shooting range,i took the old targets (a few washer,microwaves and an old hot water heater) to the "metal man" with my cans.when he handed me $150 for a load of old rusty metal,i was hooked. since then i have done a little bit of everything from tearing down old barns to stripping wire. i look everywhere i go for something with some metal i can throw on the pile. i have already picked up a few tips and tricks here and hopefully i can share a few of mine.
    thanks a lot and good scrapping to all.

    Welcome to the Forum. Getting $150 for old junk laying around does tend to get attention.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    MIKE, i was reading some older posts and noticed that you do e waste. i have been doing this for a couple years now am i get sick every time i go to the dump and drop off a load that could be turned into a little more money. it is mostly circuit boards from all kinds of electronics. i do keep the computer boards and figured when i got enough i could ship the to someone. do you know of any local companies i could deal with to get a little something for the other stuff? also next time i head up to jacksonville i will send you a PM ahead of time and take you up on that cup of coffee if you have time. and thanks again to all for the warm welcome to the forum.
