Aluminum is around .60 a lb. Is it for sure aluminum? I've seen tin that looks similar. Tin is all over the place right now. You might get 7 to 12 cents a lb.
If you haven't already, grab a magnet, it will quickly become your best friend. I took some stuff to auction yesterday. One of the items I was looking to get rid of was a night video drop. Paint was chipped off a corner and it looked like aluminum. Guy says "just scrap that...it's aluminum, and it's around $3 a lb right now".
I nearly fell over that he actually thinks aluminum is around $3/lb. Anyways I whipped out my magnet and it stuck. He mumbled something and we completed our transaction.
