This find took me by surprise 4 large wound rolls of a wire with Aluminum center and strands of copper .
The sample length that I used as a size reference has that ball of copper @ 3/4 pound
it has 1/2 pound AL
the yard only wants to pay copper bearing price about .15 to .16
since it uses a type of foam insulation the over all weight cause the copper bearing price to not be in the ball park
or even close .Those rolls I did not weigh yet but there a bit of a grunt to lift
There is some other copper there the rubber boots have a copper rod I feel might be more copper in boot
as AL wire needs lots of insulation and the boot has not much .
