    Great job. I didn't see any other scrappers in the area, is that common in your area?

    How long did that run actually take you, and what did it end up being worth?

    There was a lot that got cut but total time 1.5 hours. I did see one other guy out that I had never seen before he was coming out of an area that I would have gone into but when I saw him I just bypassed that area. Normally I see 2 or 3 guys out but it had rained earlier and was at times looking like more but never did. Got to love those fair weather guys. Lol
    Thanks for the video likes.

    Load Estimate:
    Steel 250lbs @.09 = 22.50
    Brass from stove 3lbs @1.70 = 2.80
    Copper 20lbs @2.80 = 56.00 once stripped
    Elec motors 2lbs @0.25 = 0.50
    Alum 4lbs @0.45 = 1.80
    Total $85.90

    We're you using a minivan or a truck? Kind of looks like a mini van interior.


    Edit: Nevermind kind of looks like a Newer chevy interior.

    An I know what ya meant, but..VA Beach has tons of all class type. Rich, Middle, low..they got it all!

    I gotta come visit Keith, so he can do another video of us emptying the cooler!

    I'm happy on my sandbar, but I do visit the Hampton Roads/Va Beach/Norfolk area quite a bit!
