Little of everything in there...brass, copper, aluminum maybe, steel. Take it apart and separate.

thanks for that link KZ, I'm actually scrapping out the old gas furnace in my dads garage I work out of as it hasnt been hooked up in years so its nice to know what the internals look like.

I've found that a lot of furnaces have a large copper coil in them. On the outside look for a metal circle about 10 or so inches across with copper outlets on it. Remove all the bolts, I torch them out personally, and the copper coil will pull right out. I sell these as #1 copper. Note: not all furnaces have such coils.
