I love brass as a sideline, I don't get much so I don't take it into account in my $.
Then when I do have enough to fill a small sack or container I go thru it & clean it up & sell it, brass was getting a great price for a while but has dropped a lot in the last 3 weeks.
I'll just keep saving until the price gets up again, curtain rails, taps, bearings, electrical & household stuff.
To get the brass nuts off copper pipe I bash them flat & the rotate the pipe 90deg & smash it again & it breaks into a few pieces & falls away.
I found a large bucket of brass street water main valves once under a fence/hedge, the workers must have put it aside as they were doing their work & forgot about it. Easy $$$.
