What to do with brass & copper junk found detecting or digging bottles
I have started throwing all this stuff like shell casings, spoons, wire, and any thing else that looks green in a 5 gallon bucket. If I'm unsure, I hit it with a file to see if it is reddish or yellowish inside. Should I be sorting more dilligently between brass and copper, and if I take it in all together, would I just get the brass price? I really just started doing this and any advice would be welcome.
