I have been on the trail for silver coins for several months and have done quite well. During my road trips I have noticed tons of scrap metal along the way. Can some of you point me to the right stuff to go after.
How would you rate these as good to scrap or are they a waste of time.
Restaurant equipment, golf clubs,tin roofing(I live near tornadoes),old farm machinery,junk cars ? I hate to drive past all this potential scrap if there is $$$$$$ to be made. Thanks, Jim

I have thought that if you look under the back seats in old junk cars you might find some old coins.along with french fries ,gum wrapper ,snakes etc.

If the restaurant stuff is cooking equipment it will be stainless steel components. I sold some stainless today here in Tennessee and got $1.50 per pound. Golf clubs I'm not sure about (I don't golf). They could be steel, stainless steel, aluminum or diecast golf heads. Some clubs are titanium which goes for 3 to 6 dollars per pound. On the cars they are going for about 4 cents per pound as is. You have to remove the battery and the gas tank for the scrap yard to accept them here in the Chattanooga area. The gas tank can be sold with the car if you throw it in the back seat. You could strip out the radiator wich would go from 50 cents on up to $1.70 per pound depending on it is made of. The catalytic converters go for $15 on up to close to a $100 depending on the make. See here's the thing, all scrap metal is worth something in money. The question is not really, "Is it worth anything?" but is it worth your time and effort to sell it. I can't really answer that question because you only know what your time and effort are worth. There is nothing wrong with cherry picking a big scrap pile to get the best stuff if you are allowed to by the owner. There is a lot of money to be made selling scrap. Regards, Chris Hyder.
