What would probably work , if I could shred into a copper shot like mix . (all of it ) then put it all into a like 200 gallon container . Fill with a salty brine solution,
I bet in a year iron would rust away leaving copper behind , I am pretty sure copper can stand up well in salt water . WELL that's just a fantasy .
I think melting would take lots of time and fuel leaving not so much profit.
I once bought some on E bay as copper ( about 4 1/2 years ago )
& discovered after I left a good comment that a magnet stuck to it .
Since I was kinda new to scrapping I just sold it off with my regular copper mix and it passed
But now as an experienced seller of metals I would never risk my reputation as the yard men expect me to know what
I am selling .
