I had a load of 2.73 ton yesterday of tin and misc. iron and got $50/ton. I'm still operating on a 50/50 basis. My bonus was almost as much as the iron. I sure don't want to bring it home, unload it and reload it someday IF the price goes up. The scale guy mentioned an imminent price rise....(HOPE SO). This is an experience in ''taking the bad with the good". I did find two spare tires and rims that will fit my manure spreader and also I'll buy a walk-in door to a grain bin that I took down. Sometimes those types of additional finds or favors take the hurt off the price and the labor involved. I'm not aggressively looking for more iron, but I'm making notes of where the stuff is at. Ya, I'll keep scrapping. I like it. I look like a scrapper anyhow and I have to put my coveralls and stocking hat to good use somewhere.
