    Big iron

    Today's haul to the yard. These plus two more large pieces that I forgot to take a picture of. $4/hundred for unprepared/ torchable. Not as big a payday as I hoped. At least I got some walking around money

    Don't know the weight of the tank by itself. The scale man said "Jesus" when I pulled up The whole load was 4900 lbs so I'm guessing about 4000 lbs for the tank.

    $80/ton? Prices are better here in the midwest. I got $160/ton last month for a 4 ton load of unprepared.

    Bottom line is, you drove out of the yard with more money that you drove into the yard with.
