Even though this is an old thread, I want to add something that is easy to scrap- Romex wire. Many times I will only remove the soft outer layer and take the paper off the one bare bright copper strand inside. If it is easy enough (and often it is NOT easy), then I will attempt to remove the plastic insulation on the other inside wires. But that one strand of bare bright is very easy to remove. I would just try to keep it out of the rain, as the paper insulation in some cases could get stuck to the bare bright and become more difficult to remove.
Another thing that is kind of fun to scrap is chandeliers, but be sure to test with a magnet to make sure it is not steel before wasting a lot of time on it.
