    copper AL wire

    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 .

    This is either Good or Bad ? my son was at a town swimming pool
    he saw this in the parking lot and said to my wife I am getting that for dad
    he was all excited about the value .I not sure i will even sell it now . I paid him $5
    So 11 pounds @ .09 = .99 cents true value, I guess I'll sit on it for a wile .
