Hi mate,

It was

Copper (£16)
Wire (copper wire) (£4)
Brass (£17)
Lead (£32)

I didn't take the alloy in as i only had a small amount (2 or 3 pieces). Time to start saving again

Brass £17 ? How much was that in weight? I must have at least 5 or 10 kilos of scrap brass

I'm not sure what the weight was but to be honest it wasnt heavy. If you scrap in make sure you find someone to take it to. My uncle once made the mistake of having a bloke come and around he lifted the bucket and quickly said that's about 20quids worth. when really it was worth tripple.

Cheers

Hi Steve, I weighed in a carrier bag full of scrap brass blank cases, collected up at some of our re-enactment events, this was last October. Our local scrap yard paid me £17.

Cheers, Ade.
