Heavy cable... what do I have here?

I need to talk to an electrician who might be able to tell me who could use it.

Honestly, unless its brand new, its not worth more than scrap. Theres a reason so much cabling gets scrapped even though its still "usable." You can still sell it at the scrap yard without having to strip it for 0.30 to $1.00 a lb.
