ALWAYS! Check your trash. STERLING

[Carolina Relic Hunter]

After a long day of hunting I was sifting through my trash for missed treasure as I always do and found Silver!

Yes, it's always a good idea not to be in a rush to throw your trash away.
I keep a plastic coffee can in my detecting box.
Dump it out on my work bench after a few hunts and take a real close look at everything before throwing anything away.

It's also a good idea to separate all your Bronze, Copper and Brass.
I usually get between $15.00 to $30.00 every time I take mine to the local scrap metal buyer.

An even 5 grams

At our buyer price up here that's $14.90 CAD
Local price is $8.75
It pays to save, and where to sell.

Yellow brass is now $3.80 a pound
#1 copper dropped this past few days to $6.80
#2 copper is now $6.60
Aluminum Extrusion is at $1.97

I when I read posts where a guy will toss the scrap and over a few pennies. Digging up and old threaded brass valve from the dirt I just dug up $1+. Thank you very much I say outlaid.

I drive right past our local scrap metal buyer a few time a week.
I end up digging around $100.00 in Copper & Brass every year.
What the heck, it buys some detecting gas and lunch here and there.
