    Scrap metal is its own industry. I love collecting old bits of metal and selling them at the scrap metal yard. Each metal type has its own value. Its kind of like treasure hunting

    www.flickr.com/photos/howard33/1387076170/in/set-72157594... Here is a scrap drive during World War II in Hazard, Kentucky. Hazard also produced coal for the war effort. I don't remember where I got this, so I don't know if it is copyrighted.

    I'm having nervous shivers just thinking of putting a ring of metal shavings around my neck. This picture is awful and so are her safety practices.
