    The sample I had sent in for assay was taken from the surface a weathered sample with minerals leached out over time, a poor representation of the ore body. The deeper one goes the richer the ore.

    A list of the minerals of interest from that chunk of hard clay.

    Gallium
    Hafnium
    Dysprosium
    Scandium
    Niobium
    Neodymium
    Lithium
    Lanthanum
    Hahnium
    Samarium

    By paying dues I can become part of a secret society - no thanks.

    Any comments or opinions that I may have are open source and have no desire to see or hear what others have to say behind closed doors. So called privileged forums.

    To me it's not really even about the private forum (little goes on there).......For all you have taken from this forum as well as all the dirty little posts you have made over the years a few bucks seems like the least you could do

    Never thought I would see the day that a host would demand payment from a guest.

    Your inference that I have taken from this forum leads me to think your also inferring that I have given nothing in return and because I have not subscribed into the paid membership program, you consider me a leach.

    You my friend should be paying me as a consultant.

    I find it pretty nervy on your part asking an old man retired from the scrap industry who gives freely of his time explaining to those in need how to perform certain tasks.

    Titanium 3500 ppm, 1 ppm is 1 gram there's approximately 454 grams to a pound so there is almost full 8 pounds of titanium in each ton of clay.

    I might have to get a miners permit then go and stake this ground.

    Honestly I think you have a hidden agenda which has reared it's ugly head before and I'm sure won't be long until it happens again

    As a visiting out of town guest one of the privileges my host has permitted me is to add you to my ignore list - good bye.

    Your a vindictive individual, for what reason have you given me a negative towards my reputation.

    mikeinreco don't you think that a -43 is a pretty big hit.

    Your advertised on this forum as an entrepreneur, if this is how you choose to treat a guest I could only surmise how you would treat a customer.

    I see that it's at -43 but I thought you could only give 1 point (good or bad) at a time.

    Perhaps the difference between guest and paid membership.

    I've always checked the blinking notice, this was the first hit on reputation all others were thanks given from various members.

    Maybe one of the paid members could leave a hit on my reputation then we'll know who many points are given in the negative. I'll keep the members identification private.

    Thanks for the reputation input, did not show up as a negative.

    Seems to vary. I'm not sure why anyone would use this feature as the persons identification is clearly revealed on the SMF wall of Thanks. https://www.scrapmetalforum.com/smf-thanks.php

    In all my posts I give links to sources, if there's an interest pick up the phone.

    This assumes anonymity is important to the person giving rep. Myself I'm welcoming of transparency and accountability for my actions.

    Removing plywood floor from the trailer frame, first set the depth of the blade on the saw then made several cuts, using a zip cut at an angle to remove the heads from the screws.

    Could also have used the welder to burn the heads off, this is what I use when scrapping out an aluminium highway tractor cab that has steel braces in the corners with steel rivets securing them in place. Cheap rod at high amperage.

    Heading to the landfill on Saturday to pick up that old RV, we were there on Monday when I found this old transistor radio in the electronics pile.
