40 Bucks for some old metal

Today I headed over to Bisch's - our local Army-Navy store and metal recycle center. I pulled a trailer full of old scrap metal that has been piling up in the hangar for a while now.

Amazing process - that great big green electro-magnet just hovers over the trailer and "swwooop" a bunch of the metal is levitated up. It's huge and scary looking....note that the photo I snapped is from inside the truck....I didn't venture out.
