So here's the pic from today. That big flat rusty hunk of rusty rust on the bottom is (was) some sort of snow plough attachment for I guess a pickup truck. Holy cow was that thing heavy. But we managed to get it in (and out), and Larry's bumper is still even intact.
Today's load came to an even half-ton; that puts our totals for scrap iron (this does not include cars) removed from this place since we've been getting receipts (March 2008) at thirty-two trips to the scrapyard, and 28,000 pounds of iron. That's fourteen tons even.
We already have a sizable pile of stuff for a precious metals run; after that we plan on another one with the lighter stuff in the bus (doors, hoods, fenders, &c).
Yes, there's still more.

I hope you're getting good coin at the ironmongers. And what's included in a precious metals run? Brass, copper, stuff like that? Gold? Silver? Surely that's too much to hope for!
I couldn't wait for spring to get here so you two Amazon Rust Busters could get into full swing. You are my heroines and my inspiration !!
Actually, I did know that burning clutch smells like popcorn.
I also discovered that the middle lane (of five) on the incline to the Dodger Stadium parking lot on Opening Day in bumper-to-bumper traffic is not the ideal place to burn out one's clutch.
Yeah for you girls getting in another load!!!
14 tons of scrap and tons of money in your pockets?
Man, you two gals ROCK....
I envy the car skills, let alone tackling all the hoard and refuse and what not on the property.
Can't wait to see another panoramoc view of the property, before and after....that would really be something....
Keep up the great works.....
