    That's hilarious.



    Just goes to show how little those guys cared about spending their companies money. Not dressed for the job=not going to be able to do the job properly. I guess, in their defense, seen one plant to scrap out, you pretty well seen them all. But still, the % of higher value metals will vary from plant to plant. What the heck was a guy carrying a metal detector for in a plant that was likely 99% steel?

    By the way, is there enough higher value metal in the plant to warrant leasing or renting an XRF gun for a couple months so you know what you have? I'm guessing that the boiler waterwalls are some pretty good steel. I understand anything with a nickel content will get you some better money than basic steel. Not sure if a plant that old would have much stainless?

    Freezing my ptoot off in 30F weather in the great white north!!
