I worked In Portsmouth dockyard in 2009 and they asked me to clear out a compound. I noticed 27 solid copper bars which were about 5 foot long and weighed 105kgs each.i got £9450.thst was my best one especially for a freebie

I remember stripping out an entire Data centre UPS system and lead batteries. There was 550 40kg batteries, and miles of 1200mm2 single armoured cable, UPS systems and transformers that was about 10 years ago, and we got 48k, split it equally between all my staff, even the admin staff that never helped, as we are all one team

I have no idea why I enjoyed this video so much.

Great score mate. Had me mouth watering whilst watching. Holy grail of copper wire scores!!

Good haul. Reminds me of the time I did an electrical job for a government owned enterprise, we had to use tinned copper multicore cables, the only available source for the cable was themselves from deep storage, so we wrote them a cheque for 20,000 which we had allowed for in the tender. The cheque never got processed, when we enquired they informed us that they were not permitted to accept revenue from hidden assets and that the 20, 000 was ours. Boy did we have a party.

What a lovely load , you hit the jack pot there , all the very best 👍

Congrats! Absolutely INSANE score!! What a dream.

I suggest you invest in a decent pair of steel toe cap working boots, Rhys. That brass fitting you dropped was a near miss and a wake up call.

Holy cow what a haul!! Lot of folks would be hyped to get a heap like that, myself included! Definitely pays for a cable stripper at the very least 😁

Oh man I miss those days, my dad was a scrapoligist , we did a job in fort McMurray alberta Canada, oil company abandoned a plant and built a new one a few miles away, my dad picked up the job for a song , they took all the moters etc...but left miles of #1 copper in the ground, we hook up a loader and pulled and pulled, 22tons of wire that was in the eighties so we got about 75cents a pound not burned....in today's world wow...I literally burned 100's of tons of copper back in the day.

19:05 thank you for the metric conversion for us yanks! 🇺🇸 I never knew it was that easy!

Mate I’ve subscribe to your video and love them all…I like your honesty eg you dispose of the waste correctly and equally and you show all your receipts…you deserve this good fortune more of it pal…Naveed from Bradford

Legend -- fantastic score! Well done!

Mega score scrap hunter! It would be nice to see you guys strip the wires out ! That's the fun part of it and watching you pole it into the van. Congrats!

to brighten copper thats burnt like that put it in a cement mixer with some sand. shines right up

Thankyou for not clickbaiting and showing the return you received. Keep scraping. 👍🏾from Toronto 🇨🇦

You will never get that ever again … unbelievable well done 👍🏻

That's a good haul, a lot of work to process but good never the less.

Blimey, I had to knock one out when I saw the amount of bright copper there.

Great stuff. Big brucey

Well done lads spot on

LOL USE TO STRIP THIS IN THE BARRL SCRAP SHOP BACK IN THE DAY

Got any job openings amigo? ... LOL... you made a killing ..... well done ... Javier from Houston, Texas , USA

Nice one, I stripped out all the old telephone exchanges in the late 70s 80s loads of platinum points the metal that tap with each other when people was dailing there phone at home, hundreds of hours smashing copper out of old phones, but now the old phones are worth more, great old days I was only a teenager at the time but my friend dad was scrapping and we took all the old led window sashes waits out of the old houses in shoreditch were we live best days of my teens.

Great job

Sweet touch 💪

Very nice! I like a bargain too 👍❤️💛💚

Brilliant lad’s well done 👏

What a great load mate

Damn. I need to get into scrapping

Gypsies gold, well done keeping it under wraps

nice video keep them coming

There’s something about copper, one of most beautiful metals out there, worth a lot think that’s why people like itb

Awesome finds!! Hello from montana and good luck finding more.

Great video 👍👍

Them 4 cores remind me when we took down 4 sets of high rise flats and i wont disclose what we got but it got split between 2-3 people!!!

Less hassle going shoplifting 🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Mocopper momoney. Awesome score

Quality, to you Americans it's alot! . Good vid fellas.

I did this with my neighbors cans when aluminium was doing all kinds of funny business in the covid lockdown. Easiest 200 quid I ever made. Gave everyone who helped me out free eggs.

Fkn Score ! that would have been hard to do one out, lucky you had help. Well done

Fair play lads probably the most i have ever seen at once in one haul definitely

Very nice.

Copper, copper, copper ♻️💪🏻

Nice, wouldn’t mind a few loads like that!

Good result, nice one 👍👍🤠

Boom my boy!🎉

We luv a bit of Rory delap

When I first started working in recycling depot in Kendle the guys there did not share with new recruits They took all the scrap to Morecombe metals ,I reckon they pulled in a couple grand a month ,And the months before Christmas when people done up kitchens and bathrooms there loads and loads of copper piping ,,, Yeah nice little earner

Love watching folks hustling making a dollar (Pound) the honest way. Subscribing to your channel amigo … It’s 7:30pm over here so …Cheers !!! (while taking down a few shots of whiskey) … P.S. Much luck with your KZfaq channel …

I was a cable puller for eighteen years, that’s peanuts to what we were given as the Engineers on site didn’t want their superiors to know they’d overestimated what was needed. 630mm2 single core was the best.

Can't fault ya boys, Nice profit there !!

Fair play buddy!

Nice touch rhys

Mate that's a pile and a half ...Good for you.

Lovely touch lads 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Project shop is awesome mate cheers mate!!!! Have a pint for me

That’s a good day at the office …nice one ..my wife asked me what I was watching I said Rhys’s big load …that got her attention …she even walked over ..well waddled over ..she had a look …not what she expected …then went back to the couch to eat wotsits

Amazing payday there.

Done well chavie

I do take stripping job's on recently closed factories a lot with my building company but's its more a side thing where i put some other workers on, i always strip the cables you get a much higher price but i bet you know that already, i do own a very expensive automatic cable stripping machine, oh men back in the day, i did this all by hand, never again lol way to much work so after a while i just sell it not stripped and did keep all that money on the side to buy a custom build machine for that best purchase i ever did, after 2 jobs it did pay its self already back, its insane what i was spending on employee working hours before the machine... its a good business but a lot of people do not know how much hours of work there going in to this, to make a good profit on it.. nice amount you got there my friend keep up the good work...

Now I see why craclheads in my area are tweakin for some copper scrap.

I’m not getting the train to work tomorrow! Keep up the good work lad 👊

Well done

YEAH , AN IRISH GUY WENT LOOKING FOR COPPER WITH A METAL DETECTOR AND WAS 7 FEET DOWN IN A BIG HOLE BEFORE HE REALISED HE WAS WEARING STEEL TOECAP BOOTS.

Amazing 👏 🙀

Pretty ace mate , keep it up

Congradulatins great score.

Wow great graft

Would you pick up from Allington, Maidstone ? Cast iron metal work lathe( in pieces) and stand, some Aluminium and light stuff?

WoW that's a nice haul thanks for putting it in pounds for us Americans who watch 👍

good stuff lad the misses will be happy

Good on you

Lovely jubbly

Good job bro

In Alberta Canada they steal copper wire from job sites too

I remember back in the getting a carrier bag full....burning it off...smoking the fuckin neighborhood out...an getting 15 notes...lol 🤣🤣👌

When you get dark wire try cleaning with CLR brass cleaner or silver cleaner cause it's worth a try to get the better orice
