    what do you normally get per lb for zinc hobo? I usually get 25 cents but last Saturday I got 33 cents. Not much of a jump but higher than I've ever gotten before.

    Only got $.15 last time, going to call and see what it is now...

    Best ever was $.20 worst was $.10 lb

    Your $.33 is great
