    Cut out ass much copper as ya can with a cut off wheel, rest in brass bucket, If you cant cut it, then it is indeed brass by my yard.

    Yea I agree with the previous post. Cut as much copper off. A little left on will not hurt anything and you will not be losing that much copper. If they are shower mixing valves you will get red brass price. Last time I brought some of those in I got 2.00 a pound.
