Today I went around and seen this old gutter by some rebar i went to throw the rebar in but it was to long so i forgot it, threw the gutter in the truck on a whim and went on, I had 40$ of iron and some (what i thought was imitation) brass lights, When i went in to the yard turns out that when I folded the gutter to get it to fit on the scal better for aluminum the paint cracked off and it was Copper! :eek: that was a 26 dollor gutter and the brass lights i seen in the trash were 15, I made 90 bucks in just over 2 hours today. man im feeling great

Good find!

Did the yard know what it was before you figured out it was copper?

I think so, It was painted, and i dont know what idiot paints copper, so we drop it on the scal and he was looking at it funny and I was like you can hit it ith a magnet if you want to, and the i gave it a second look and was like "holy $hit" and he was like yea, you almost made a 15 dollar mistake, and then when the scale settled he was liike, you almost made a 26 dollar mistake!
