It could be quite a wait. The aerial telephone line to the farmhouse,
until undergrounded, was a twisted pair of single strand conductors,
which hung there for nigh on half a century. Even my experiments as a
kid, lying on the roof and plucking heavily a metre out, to send
physical waves out, and watch them reflect with a TWANG from the first
post, about 50 metres out, didn't do it in.
But yes, copper work hardens, so it's surprising how long it sometimes
lasts.
