    Here is the harvested copper from this weeks collection of starters, generators and motors, you be the judge.

    Pile on the right is from starters and generators while the right side is from motors.



    Am I wasting my time. I weighed up the copper, recovered 55 lbs from motors and 27.5 from starters and generaters

    Almost $270 worth for the prices here. Then again, depends on how my yard would grade it too.
