I visited my local scrap yard last night. Found 2.5 1 lb solder bars, 40/60. Owner told me just to take them. Sold off 4 buckets of junk brass for $226.
Every time I'm there, I debate the pile of smelted off bullet jackets in my garage. I probably have at least 250 lbs of jackets. My issue is the bimetal and brass jackets. Theres not many, but enough to get them rejected. Is there any kind of solution that could be used to wash the jackets to remove the grey corrosion after smelting? This would allow easy identification of any brass. Bimetal can be pulled with a magnet obviously.
With the price of copper, I'm likely sitting on $500 easily.
