Copper Melting ?

If I melt my tiny copper wires down what does scrap yards give for Bare Bright Ingots?

Yards around here won't buy ingots because they can't tell if there are any other metals mixed in.

Ah Ha I thought as much thanks.

check eBay, there are plenty of buyers on there for copper ingots. Can get $5-10lbs if you have quality goods.

How are you melting copper and other metals? What sort of set up do you have or have access to?

Just curious as I know it takes good hot heat for melting aluminum.

Took basic's off this Video and added Dried pine wood which burns hot and quick.
