r/ScrapMetal

I will be keeping some for personal use but want to know what to re-sell here. Thanks!

this is from about 5 weeks of saving wire from my job (1 roll comes in every moter and rarely gets used) its MOSTLY low gauge wire. should I take the time to strip it or should I just scrap it as insulated wire

Like the title says, should I just take it in somewhere. All empty brass cartridges 3 gallon bucket of lead and half a coffee jug of copper tips.

I cleaned it a bit with salt and vinegar, so keep in mind that it might look a bit different than usual.
8.2kg, pretty nice attic find. Still wondering if I should try and sell it or scrap it at a yard

Edit: No, it's not magnetic

Edit1: Yes I did mistype an S, I mean Brass, not Bras, I'm not that lucky..

Long story short, me and my other half have purchased a church in a northern English town. It's been neglected and lots of stuff had been stored in the cellars for the past 100 years or so. So, after pulling out, chopping up various woodworm ridden bits of wood and whatnot and burning it in the wood burner we've put in, I found some molten metal in the bottom of the fire grate.

I didn't think anything of it at first, but after it being sat on the side for a week, my partners mum noticed it and asked if it was gold. Given the melting point of iron, brass, bronze and steel, it seems unlikely if not impossible for it to be old nails or fittings, and the absolute lack of tarnishing and this being the state I pulled it from the fire grate from makes me think it really only could be gold?

So what do you think? Gold or is this just hopium and it's just some worthless metal I've not considered! (Scissors for scale on the side of the workbench I've been cutting wood at)

Stripped 300kg copper

These come out of Crestron touch panels that were used for the visual & audio system controllers.

What do you think the grade of them are?

What do you think I can possibly get from the scrap vs extracting the gold?

I have roughly 25lbs of it.

A lot of aluminum, motors, little copper, but enough to add up.

It's a diesel tank submersible turbine pump pulled from a flying j truck. I don't know much about STP or if they have any value in scraping them, but they allowed me to take it off their hands
