Depends really. A lot of what I've been collecting is on family private property that has long been abandoned. Between myself, my dad, uncle, and a family friend, we own a little over 300 acres, and a lot of that "used" to be inhabited, and I've been finding 50 year old washing machines, cars buried in water-holes, etc.

There's plenty of people around here that scrap though, so it's hard to find publicly accessible land that hasn't already been picked to death. The other day when I sold the body to the Datsun pickup truck, I showed up around noon and there was 3 or 4 people in line to get weighed in before me. When I finally got unloaded and went to leave, there had to have been 50 people in line. T&B Recycling here in Salyersville bought and then closed Mr. Metal on new 460, so there's no competition within a reasonable driving distance of here. They still pay alright, but it forces everybody to go to the one scrap dealer left in the county.
