<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 93263, member: 4552"]Copper has been in large demand for a very long time. Enough so that copper wires and tubing is stolen everywhere. The usage for large amounts of copper for electrical wiring, electrical contacts, jacketing for bullets, etc has made it a wanted metal for a long time. That stuff dissapears from construction sites really fast. Copper coins are frequently melted down illigally for the copper for resale as a bulk metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
