<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steelheadwill, post: 1844696, member: 28116&quot;]Enjoyed reading this thread very much. Scrap pays !!</p><p>&nbsp; Any members out there metal detecting?</p><p>Besides finding the good stuff: <a href="http://www.pinetreeshillings.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pinetreeshillings.com" rel="nofollow">www.pinetreeshillings.com</a></p><p>I usually come home from a seaside hunt (not beaches, inland tidal waterways)</p><p>with anywhere from 2 to 20 pounds of cuprous scrap.&nbsp; I&#039;d venture it&#039;s an average monthly payoff of $150-200. During a bad month this can outweigh the value of the goodies, here&#039;s pix of two average scrap metal hauls and a pic of some sales from last summer.</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/scrap/NHFINDS07-23020_zps1bab4170.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/scrap/NHFINDS08-06006_zps261ebdf8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/scrap/NHFINDS10-10001_zpsdc1bcf21.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a big pile ready for the yard, over $250 from this one, the large drain was almost 30lb of white brass by itself, and all pulled from the mud.</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/scrap/NHFINDS06-28021_zps2d64ec77.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you like free PMs, consider swinging a coil, here&#039;s my<b> junk </b>PMs recovered this year, (well, some of the gold isn&#039;t junk) gold, lol, I found three teeth, two of them gold in the mud this year, and two rings not shown, the coin was found in my first month of MDing.</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/CopyofNHFINDS10-31030_zps6a932a51.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/NHFINDS09-06-2013018_zps12673765.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A 12 gram lump of melted 14K, recovered from the edge of a colonial era foundation, test kit is a must, sure didn&#039;t look like gold til I filed it.</p><p>&nbsp; Have several silver lumps that match coin weights from old foundations.</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/NHFINDS10-10033_zpsebd4915e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/NHFINDS10-10035_zps4a57421f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>97 modern(post 1900) silver coins,</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/JUNKSILVERS002_zpsf5b11d3c.jpg?t=1389291877" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>around a dozen 1800-1900.</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/JUNKSILVERS003_zps3c9ff102.jpg?t=1389291767" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>a pile of jewelery, thimbles and flatware.</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/JUNKSILVERS001_zps1dc95839.jpg?t=1389291930" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/FLATWARE002_zps8e10c24a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, here&#039;s an interesting purchase, 1.4 oz HD bar, paid about spot from the bay.</p><p>Thanks for looking and HH all !!</p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/LIBERTY20BASETYPEII140p210_zpsf63a2943.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu63/steelheadwill/LIBERTY20BASETYPEII140p211_zps652b806b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
