    Somehow I get tons of positive energy from these Junkyard Treasure Hunts! Please do one every 30 days. 🎉 Silas you just have no idea how much some of us lonely people enjoy your comments and searches, better than an Easter egg hunt for big kids. I like your idea of jars with random stuff. Bury them as crazy time capsules, with a note.🤔🤔 *I also enjoyed seeing what you ate on your 1500 mile road trip!

    Nikon D200 + battery, charger, lens and lens hood
    4GB SanDisk CF card
    WD Scorpio Blue 500GB 2.5 inch HDD

    Though scissor jacks are terrible, they're sure worth more than scrap weight, for plenty of things other than using on cars. Time to start filling up a truck bed with them, lol. Surprised you didn't check under the spare tire cover foam that had a jack. Putting valuables under a spare tire that's bolted down is pretty common.

    Silas!! Love you prospecting through the junk cars!! The U.S. Mint did change from 95% copper to mostly zinc in 1982. But, it was mid-year when they made the switch. You have to weigh the pennies to determine their content. 95% copper pennies weigh 3 to 3.2 grams each. Zinc pennies weigh 2.5 to 2.6 grams each. So, anytime you find a 1982, you'll have to weigh it to identify between 95% copper and zinc. And also, you are correct, the copper in a 95% penny is worth .03 cents.

    Cell phones got precious metals in the circuit-boards, so you should perhaps consider selling them for recycling, a bunch at a time. We're talking gold and copper.
    The gold recovered from 1 t of waste PCBs can be sold for approximately USD 10,000, and thus the return on investment can be as high as approximately 1400%.
    Found a bunch of cash myself, back when I drove a taxi, graveyard shift during a five year period - between fifty and a hundred USD a month, so along with tips it provided a fine supplement for my (low) income.
    Good luck - recycling is positive, an honourable business for sure

    The copper value did exceed the face value of 1 cent coins. That's why they changed the composition in 1982. They also passed a law making it illegal to sell copper cents for scrap. The concern was not having enough coins in circulation. The old solid copper cents definitely last longer than the copper plated zinc variety.
