After doing a Project years ago for my parents company (We had the contract for a 12 story office building gut in Crystal City VA, Old patent office) I will never look at scrap metal the same way. On top of all the small pipes, the building has a two 8" schedule L pipes that ran from the basement to the roof. When I had my guys cut those out and load up the box truck I never dreamed how much it was worth. And this is back in 06, Prices are three times as much or more now. On that project we walked away with over 30K in cash just from the scrap copper.

Never thought about melting down range bullets for the lead & copper, but at 3.50 lb and having 50 lbs thats a nice chunk of change you have coming your way
