WAY more than scrap value!

As some have read me and my father own a scrapyard.. well the towns cleanup is on right now and people are bringing in scrap like crazy. Anyways.. I was in our shred pile looking for stuff to make extra profit on and found a hundred dollar bill. I grabbed it quick after realizing it was real and not fake, then I looked back down and found 2 more lol. 5 minutes later another guy found another one. There were some old cabinets and stuff laying right there so they must have been stashed under the drawers. Check your scrap thoroughly before cashing it in or you may be in for a big loss!

thats where i dropped my bills at your place the other day.

**myekem** · 04-18-2012, 05:55 AM

lol.. I'm glad it wasn't you because if someone that I knew was there at that time came to me and said they lost the money and told me how much I would give it back. But i know who was there and I don't think it would have been any of them. I thought of asking but they would then say that they lost it so I will wait for the one that find out they are missing it. I am sure they would notice if they were missing that much. other than that its mine.

If you ever help anyone clean out a house after an ederly relative passes, check under drawers, old coat pockets, purses, etc.

I helped a friend once. Unreal what might have gone to donation had we not taken the time to check things properly.

Hey myekem, we're located in Hamilton Ontario. What's your 20?

**myekem** · 04-30-2012, 05:29 AM

I am in Nova Scotia.. Took a week vacation and went to ontario looking for scrapyards and mills to sell to. Maybe you could be a good help to me someday. We are just a smaller yard but trying to grow. I was in hamilton looking at dafosco and man that place it huge. Which yard do you sell to and what is your price for #1 steel right now? that will give me an idea if it is going higher than where it is going right now.

Haha. Oh my god. I found about a a grand and a half in a coat pocket when my grandfather died. It was all older bills. My mom and Aunt would of sent it off to Donation if I hadn't found that money. And Of Course I didn't get even 5 dollars for find it.
