If you take a bud with you 50% is only OK if you can do twice the amount, but sadly if you base it on 2 guys driving around you will be finding the amount of one person , along with items one person can handle. Now if you hunt and your bud dismantles the dropped off items wile you hunt more,that might work as you will have a back log of items to constantly bring to yard, Your home area yard will look like crap wile all this fun is going on . But if your bud does his job correct you will have buckets of - Short - Tin - SS -AL - Copper - Brass / along with metals with some plastic on it that the yards take as Tin.
Regardless - what you find you must make the most of it, allot of items you find have pearls in them, so to say , you have to see what is your true ability to get at the guts in side. things that pay from .050 to $3 per pound are what you need to make a days pay , few people will tell you what to take apart but always say to your self how come the yard does not mind taking a item that seems to have little metal well it has a motor with copper.
Its about the law of averages one can usually find 500 to 600 pounds in suburbia , but that's not sufficient now if you take in 500 pounds of mix along with some AL some Brass Copper you will start to make OK money , Just don't give away your high value metals with the Tin mix's. I so often see that many scrappers are just into the bulk. To me why waste the resources you find
