Dear Adam, I spent quite a few years in the deserts of swa. I hunted for scrap iron in the beginning. I expanded into whatever I could find. Antique bottles and such. The best site i ever found was an old auto parts dump. Piles of old brass horns from model-K fords. I drove down mountains in 110 degree heat in old trucks loaded with junk that weighed 5 times more than the truck, with no brakes. Ever spend 16 hours a day dismantling a combine in the desert and trying to figure out how to load it into a 54 chevy pickup? Rattlesnakes and scorpions jumping out of every dry log while i chopped through that hard pan soil to make a buck. Desert winds sandblasting my rear and more important my truck! Go buy some chapstick. Cold winds howling...give me a break!
