In this video i'm melting a FULL mini trackdumper of scrap copper to solid ingots which are worth aprox 400$ with the current copper prices.
I shredded the pieces that didn't fit in the crucible with my shredder to smaller pieces.

Never forget to use an oil or similar viscose (non reactive) coating to prevent oxidation of the coppers surface! This will make sure the copper can be sold for full price as clean ingots are more valuable.

Wanted to see what happens if you put a little ascorbic acid in the water that the copper got cooled in, because it has anti-oxidant properties. Look up ascorbic acid + copper sulphate.
