New at this but wanna get things right

It's a matter what stile of scrapping you want to follow .
I've met many scrappers at yards & surprising some don't bother to dismantle
(they tend to be the ones with large loads ) they get it get rid of it . But clean non Ferris
that is, as is , no scrapper lets get past . Scrapper's generally only need concern them selves with
Copper - Brass - Stainless Steel (non magnetic ) Aluminum - Lead - Pot metals(Zinc alloy) those are in general the non Ferris metals us scrapper's find
Ferris are the mix steel - short steel & lower grade Stainless steel - Look it up on the net & you will get the needed pictures .
The truth is wile there are dry times, over all scrap is all over and non ending . So for now just collect build up weight
& get paid You've got plenty of time to get things right what you find today you will find next week to Ad nauseam
