    Hit Curbco on Wednesday morning, eyed a few car/truck wheels while scouting on my bike. Got sidetracked the rest of the day so I didn't pick them up. Went out Thursday morning, gone!! So I scouted another area and scoped an espresso machine with stainless, a car wheel, a flat screen tv. Saw a few tv carcasses where they were stripped and left. One still has the degaussing cable on it, another still had the board and a few wires.

    Picked up the wheel and espresso machine. Later, saw a hot water tank a block from my house, threw it in the back of my truck, barely fit with the tailgate up. Then went to get the flat screen, somebody took a few things off the back but there's still some harvestable material. Plan on getting the degaussing cable and circuit board off the other tube tv's eventually.



    Stripped the hot water tank. Pretty disappointing, got a brass valve and some #1 copper, and a bunch of foam to dispose of. And a big steel tank, what could I use it for? Thinking of cutting it in half and making a couple burn barrels maybe. Also stripped the LCD flat screen. Fair bit of copper, plenty of gold plating and steel and some aluminum out of it.
