What metal is worth money and what are the best places to look for it?
Can you weigh-in absolutely any metal because i have some spare metal with a plastic outer coating which i believe to be steel and wondered if it would be worth anything? Also what are the best places to find copper? Thanks

Where would it be likely found on a local construction site?

What you have is "dirty" metal, "clean" would get more money, but its only steel... basically worthless they pay you in TONS. You can find copper in wires and stuff, just take some off a local construction site or something, just make sure the wires aren't live. Aluminum is worth some money too.


***UPDATE****
Look for upcoming little communities and stuff, just houses. Probably won't be able to get in to large construction sites... Damn Security.
copper.... from electrical and a/c systems, coolant systems like refridgerators...
Sam, while this may come as a shock to you, most everyone knows that metals of all sorts are valuable to some extent. So, it's highly unlikely that unless you can find metal in really large volumes, that you're going to be able to make any real money at the scrapping business. Large corporations that use metal to make parts, save the scrap to sell to a recycling facility to recoup some of the money which would be lost as scrap, otherwise.
stainless steel scrap rate is climbing. check locale salvage yards for prices.
