I know this is off topic but while picking up a coin order today, I noticed some aluminum cans along the rear parking lot & in a wooded area behind the bank. Yes, I'm one of those scrap metal collectors too. Its just another one of my side jobs. As I went into the woods a few feet I saw a deer skull. Then a little ways away was another one. So as I'm gathering more cans further in the woods yet another skull was on the ground, but not of a deer. My guess is a Coyote? There were no other animal bones around but only 3 skulls. Why? Anyway, what were they doing behind a major bank? And why are there so many beer cans there? Are they from customers & employees too who might drink during their break? My first thought about the skulls is satanic devil worshipping. Who knows? In addition to the silver halves I found today, not only was finding cans a bonus, but the skulls are bonuses too as I sell them for $1.00 apiece at flea markets. People will collect any thing...including me.

get yourself a mountain RAM - those heads are worth a couple hundred each ( if you have the curly horns intact)

I was performing a sacrifice to the CHR gods and must have forgotten to clean up, my bad.

how much is a 12oz aluminum can worth? I know aluminum is about $1/lb. how many cans in a pound? do they give you the full wall street aluminum value?

Only a $1.00. Dude no wonder they are buying from you. Price at $10.00 and come down to $5.00. They still think they are coming out on top.

I get paid $0.55 per lb for aluminum (I wish I did get $1.00/lb). At todays aluminum standard it takes 29 12 oz cans to make a lb. I crush all my cans & I fill up 1 plastic garbage bag with 300 cans. When I get 10 bags of crushed cans (3000 cans) I then take them in to sell. Much like how CRHing isn't for everyone, so too is collecting scrap metal. It takes a lot of time & patience to hunt for scrap metal. But I'm cleaning up the environment, getting exercise & making some money to boot & that's not a bad thing. Now that I educated yuall there will be more scrap metal hunters. Why can't people think up things to do on there own? Why is everyone so dependent on the Internet to learn things? What did people do before computers? IMHO, people need to stop being copycats & they need to strive for their own creative endeavors.

Hey I started out digging under the machines at the laundromat when I went with my mom when I was about 5 or 6. I could find about $1 in change and that was in the '70s. Back then that was a fortune to me.

I got some silver from doing that, except it was under a coinstar machine.
