Scrapping circuit breakers and relay boxes for FREE SILVER. 

Good video, I'm learning a lot, I started to pick up the electrical circuit contacts for silver!!!

great video! Thanks for sharing your information. I didn't know the relay boxes had silver. Was just crapping them for the #2 copper. Will start getting the silver also. Thanks again.

Love your videos !!!

Wow that's a great find.Thanks for the informative post.

2 nil up..sollers..gave ya the thumbs up tin man as I know it's going to be a good video.👍👍👍

Ha ha, thank you for the VIP service video ! Just after I ask you for those relay boxes, I was lucky to find a dismantled oven where I found those relay boxes. Two blacks plus five smaller blues. If I add the silver contacts that where on the weird brass fingers, I found more than 50 silver contacts. Not as thick as the ones of the circuit brakers although. Havent found one of these yet. I made my first sale at the scrap yard this week. I had a good price for higher grade metal but almost nothing for the lower ones. I was paid 4.40$ for good number 2 copper in Montreal.

boom brother great video

Another aswome info video keep them coming

My channel is all about copper and brass, but I do collect silver contacts as well. Here in Ireland scrap yards will give you bare bright for almost any stripped copper. Even that really thin spool in your video there. Greetings from Ireland 🇺🇸🇮🇪🇺🇸

I'm enjoying your informative videos. Thanks for all your help. In the spirit of service to others may I offer a couple of suggestions: 1 get a wood handled, small sledge hammer. Much more efficient in controlling the force necessary to break plastics , iron, etc. In time you will quickly learn the leverage points for safe separation of various materials. When avoiding the spray of plastic parts hold the handle at the iron base of hammer where it joins the wood. #2: to save damage to hearing find a rounded granite rock from a river or stream. Use this instead of an anvil or any iron base for separation of metals, plastics, etc. I have been using the same rock for the past 6 years. Retired another rock after 8 years of usage. Again, I so appreciate your generous sharing

Hey, Tin Man! Thanks for all your videos, I'm learning a lot! You mention in one of your other videos that you don't take the silver from the buttons on circuit boards. Is there a reason for that? Is it not as good as the silver on the switches? Would there be 2 pieces of silver in the buttons also?

At 1:16 I mean relay box

Nice break down! Unfortunately that was a contactor not a breaker. Relay boxes off your power board and the third is a limit switch. You should also note that some of the contacts may not be silver but rather tungsten.

would like to see you use the vice more for holding things save on your hands

What are the mechanisms behind the knobs on a stove? I threw away the other ones I came across because I didn't think they're was anything valuable in them but I was wrong I'm pretty sure there are silver contacts in them but the brass looking metal are magnetic that's why I threw out the one's before but I took a better look again what are they called?

What's the metal on the end of that little metal thing that you took out first

WHAT DO YOU CALL THE TYPE OF SCALE YOU USE AND WHERE DO YOU BUY ONE ??

Do scrapyards buy the silver unrefined? Can I store up a bucket full of contacts and sell them by the pound?

interested to see how much you make out of the silver contacts

How do you test the circuit breaker if they are good or bad, and is it easier just to get the silver.

I don't want to deal with nitric acid to get silver. I have a big jar of silver contacts & I'd like to know where I can sell them. Maybe you should buy silver contacts.

thats a contractor off something like a heatpump

How can you tell if they work or not?

Its better to pop those silver tabs out when you get them rather than letting them pile up into a huge, imtimidating project.

I sure can kick myself in the butt!😠 I can't believe that I pass them breakers, AAAh! Thanks fot that info, cousin up there in the North!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 PS, has anyone have heard from freeisbetter86? Missed their vids!

I have a whole bunch of breaker boxes how about I break them all apart. Take all the precious metals out of them like the silver parts and send them to you and after you get them you can decide how much you pay me. Maybe that will work what do you think I really get a lot of that stuff not to mention all the silver that you told me about on the dryer and the washer and anything that has a clicker. If you’re interested I’ll sell you all my silver pieces

smelt your copper and get even more for it!!!

What rating silver is used? 925?

I would recoment using a portable drill to drill out the rivets holding the cirduit breaker together,, Much faster and cleaner than using a hammer,,, :-)

1. You're doing it wrong. 2. Those silver buttons can easily be remove with some pliers and wire snips.

You don’t have to do all that hammering. I just use my cutters to break the plastic.
