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 . 1a.jpg 3a.jpg 2a.jpg
 
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 20170430_081050.jpg 20170430_081023.jpg 20170430_080918.jpg
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

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
