Wasn't worth bothering with. I hired an insured scrap dealer and paid them to haul it out. That thing weighed a ton! The effort to get it out was enormous.

Yes they do contain very small amount of gold. I don't think they would give you $$ for a single board, but you might get a few $ for a bunch of boards...it is pretty involved (and dangerous) to...

Your figure is more along the lines of processed shredded metal, which his is far from. For example, last time I checked here in Houston, the recyclers were buying general metal scrap for $10-12...

ahh the good old days of scrapping - my father was an electrician and would have TONS (literally) of scrap wire. I spent many hours stripping copper when I was young (fetches more $$). Steel &...
