    As we get light into the building more pictures will be taken. It is so bad, we finally broke down and bought every crew member their own flashlight. Following are pictures of thing a ma jigs and whatchama call its. So far 1/3 of the value of the metal hauled out of the sight is non-ferrous. We have three gophers working on the non ferrous and 13 torches going. The number will double within the next two weeks.



    Notice the conduit at the ceiling level. Miles and miles of copper wiring.













    There is limited knowledge on this end about the pictures. I know we have gotten copper, brass, silver, gold, and platinum from these and will let the experts chime in with their insights for everyones benefit.

    OMG!
    Gargantuan copper transformers, copper pipe, brass fittings, copper buss bars, miles o' wire & telephone systems!
    Even industrial fuses have value.
