    Hello From South Central MN

    Hello to all, been scrapping on and off for the last 30 years. Sometimes out of necessity, most of the time it helps pay for vacations and other fun stuff. During the earlier years it was been cars & metals, now its recoverable metals from the smaller stuff I find, buy or are given. I have used ebay with success on stuff that has more than scrap value.
    Been searching this forum for a couple of weeks, sure wish I found this site a while back hard to say much went into my shred barrels that could of been sold for a lot more. Even dug out the computer cable ends and a few other things when I hauled scrap yesterday.
    Thanks to all who take the time to share their knowledge in the threads and videos. I'll share when I can and looks like I've got more to learn.
    Bruce

    Welcome to the forum Bruce. Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. I bagged my first deer with a bow just outside of Janesville when I was 15...corn fed whitetail is much better then these tough muley's in the Rocky's.

    Had some venison in the past from the local area. Pretty good stuff when processed like a couple small town processors do. Got a freezer full of hormone free corn and pasture Fed Black Angus that's what I call good eating.

    It has been quite a few years since I've been out, my boys played hockey growing up and didn't leave much time for other sports that time of year.

To all that post, share their knowledge, successes and failures, the good times and not so good, the humor and sincerity. I say Thanks.
