Each day we live with renewed hope of a good day , I am a worker , I work my body , lifting is my means to earn . My 9 to 5 is physical . My way to earn silver & gold is physical . I have 2 pickup trucks as I go about my day I will fill it with scrap metal items . from a basic fridge to copper aluminum lead just to name a few . ( it's vast ) earning potential is $300 to $400 per week the cost to find metal is about $20 in fuel . Usually on your way to and from scrap yards finding more occurs If one considers silver gold a metal and it is my constant reminder is what metal really turns me a profit is the nasty water heater on the side of the road . Naturally not all scrap proceeds can goto PM's but enough does , So can a person buy silver and gold for free - I think so .
Some pictures of the free find 3 loads of scrap 2 weeks time equaling $490 or just about $500 I have dedication to load and unload I was able to use $300 towards silver . The loads are called mix steel but hidden in the loads in separate containers , copper , electric motors from vacuums . I feel sad when scrap moneys cant be used towards silver but inflation often gets the better of the free find money . If you are into going to the gym , well my fellow members Scrap your way to health lift weight make money it's a real work out .
The black truck is gone and replaced by green truck but many a fierce load with that truck I have a nice truck also but when opportunity shows up I will not pass scrap by So am I a stacker ? you tell me
I guess I'll go with the flow ,it's important to know this is my side hustle income but about 7 years ago the value of scrap was very high so I did it full time & during that time I developed an expertnesses that now allows me to do as side work. During the peak it was like a gold rush - nick named the hillbilly gold rush . I would get projects from plumbers to disassemble cast iron boilers weight around 3800 pounds and plenty of copper pipes delivered $400 to $500 per load & created inspiration . I'd yank heavy metal up stairs ( what ever it took ) I dare say life threating . I've taken apart 60 boilers 7000 TV's for copper @ $2.50 each. Another lucrative venture is computers cause of the Mother boards - Memory - CPU's $1.50 and up per pound . A ton of mother board's consistently has more gold then a ton of soil from a mine . Wile there are basement refiners in America - Refiners in china in degrading conditions There also are EPA regulated large scale refiners . This is the result of dissembling about 26 computers the cases have value as lite steel power packs sold as copper mix toss in some aluminum & $142 was the reward - the blue bucket is the copper sold at a different time for about $35 or $40 I forget - I've made so many trips to the yard it numbs my mind I have yet to sell the boards but should have a value of $75 to $100 If cash is tight and I don't have time to prepare a proper load for yard I can sell some silver knowing i'll use scrap to replace silver . ---------------------- Another interesting tidbit of information Scrap yards are nation wide , I have gone to visit family and wile Kids are with grandparents I'd drive around , find & scrap ,earn $250 to $300 during a 4 day visit usually would also get an ounce of silver from the local shops. Well let me be clear with all this work or insanity depending on view well I ain't no millionaire but I'm here I don't give up & have a dream , So I do it & love doing it . I call it free finding
Gotta know what you're looking at @copperhead and you obviously do. Great Pics & all the best with what you are doing, from DownUnder (you know where) _JOHNLGALT.
Depends when - like it was a slump 1 1/2 to 2 years ago and you might be relating your view to the slump period but for now it's around $161 a ton good enough for me . But sure some yards if they can get away with it , will pay LOW
