Bring it to Alabama, here locally they were giving $7.50 per hundred or I'm sure there are scrap yards that pay just as much in other states or maybe even in other countries. I like dealing with scrap metal, I wished I had a stock pile of it to haul off when I needed money. But I haven't been able to collect anymore because I was shut down through are local trader who thought I was a business, and I'm not a business of any shape, form, or fashion. At one time I was looking into these government auctions where they sell any and everything, mostly military equipment or anything that was on a military base. Anyhow they sell piles of scrap metal, rolls of copper wire and piles of brass spent shells, by the thousands of pounds.
What I liked you all might of seen on TV, where a group of guys would go and retrieve ships that were ran ashore (some may have been stranded for years) and they would go dig them out and tow them back to where ever they were told they needed to tow them to. But it also can be a very dangerous job. It's amazing to watch when they finally get the ship afloat.
