    I can get mixed up as to how long I've been a Hunter scrapper
    best I can figure is 10 years or approaching it .
    I remember the competition of van's pickup's bursting with scrap
    thing's did not stay on the street long . Some times you see it , pass it , turn around
    and saw some one got there before you.

    Times have changed - TV's sit out day after day to weeks
    Dumpsters you can spot good stuff
    go home come back 3 days later and stuff is still there
    Heck I like it this way . Some of the younger generation
    not going for it . Can't speak of all the States but this is what I see here
    Also I was hitting a dumpster in normal territory and a Guy comes out of the store and says to me LOOK
    our investigating team is going to investigate you for theft , this stuff in dumpster is for recycling
    I said it's a dumpster of wood and metal & trash , I also will recycle what I take . He just walked away
    After a decade I think the fear of being sued is alive and well & the trust is gone .
    The let the Odd hard working guy alone to do his thing is fading away .
    Any way here I am still scrapping feeling like the time is a blink of an eye in time

    Copper Head and CopperHeadAKA (same person)
    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
