    If I could have a truck bed divided in half- 1/2 copper and 1/2 brass.. I'd take a few days vacation from the world!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Steel and tin is obviously better, here I'll trade you some pound for pound for your nasty old copper and brass.

    a loaded truck is better than an empty one

    It thawed. See the football thread. I figured even you deserved a night of nobody picking on you.

    I must be getting old, this being nice is coming far to often for my tastes.

    Sirscrapalot - Picking on BC should be an Olympic sport, an if it were I'd have all golds! - Me.

    Better yet if you could only get one truck load of copper and brass vs 52 loads of steel, iron what would you take?

    Pennies per pound or dollars per pound. Let me think on this? I'll get back with you on this in a little awhile, OK?

    8 cents a pound or $2.20. I just don't know what to do....maybe I'll ask Siri.
