    When that assay report comes back I'm going to share the results, it will give us an idea how much snake oil there is in the de-canning end of the business, we won't get our feathers ruffled over street level buyers. If I had deep pockets this is where I would have started with this project.

    Already I have formed some ideas, you all know that I'm 62 years old with back and neck injuries, no pension plan and no savings to speak of my checking account 1rst of this month had a $7.00 balance and had my first check ever $17.00 bounce. Idiot posted the check 30 days after I had issued it.



    Once I get this first batch refined win or loose I gave it my best shot, if its a winner I have some plans in the making, being in the scrap business as long as I have made some good contacts. If I'm able to show them better returns on their catalytics I'm thinking that I may set up as a de-canner, miller and outsource the assay. then forward the milled cats to a refiner.

    You may recall from another post this crane truck is only a two year project, last trip it goes into the scrap heap, it will have served its purpose.

    This afternoon did come across a refiner with a plasma arc furnace that offers toll refining and pool accounts, we're getting closer to the top of the food chain.
