My husband Troy wanted me to leave you a message to say thank you! Through your videos & direct replies to his questions he's been able to hang in there & continue to believe in the path we're on even tho it's hard as heck at the moment. Thank you from a happy wife, I'll take the huge challenges to see him truly happy!

I hope I can continue to help. I will help you and our husband in anyway I can. It is not always about the money. Life is about building relationship and helping each other along the way. Tell him to keep doing what he is doing...I have his back and will be rooting for him and you. Thank you for watching.

@@happyscrapper8655Thank you! He has had to be gone in a situation we'd not expected so until March it's just me figure it out & keep things together. We're firm believers in only needing enough $ to continue affording us the ability to do everything together and not being at separate jobs all day. I've got a handful of motors I may bug you for help on! He's teaching me over the phone how to mine, pan and refine metal as well! You were the 1st scrapping videos he saw last spring & u impressed him w/ ur openness, priority of your relationship & money not needing to be the goal all the time! In the process of completing business registration of All Things Metal, Mining & Minerals! Thank You Again!!

In general, does pot metal sell for more than shred?? Is it worth keeping separate? I know it can vary by scrapyard.

I've bought a replacement set of headlight buckets , and they don' t have pre-drilled holes to fasten to hood as needed. Salesman said they are made of white metal (grainy cast appearance) also the hole that receives the wire harness grommet needs to be larger. my question is this metal strong enough to drill (drill press) ? Is a step bit a good choice to increase hole for wire harness? Keep up the GOOD WORK.

You should be able to drill it with no problem, make sure the bucket if supported properly. Most of the time with white metal damage is caused by sudden impact such as a drop. Trying to add pressure to the bucket while drilling can also cause damage if the bucket is not on a firm surface. Thank you for watching.

Thank you again for the reply. drilled really well, even the step bit went smooth for the larger hole.

Can pot metal be shiny like a stainless steel look. I have a pair of all metal earrings and it has some sporadic dark shadows similar to oxidation on the front and doesn't stick to a magnet. They are from the 80s?

So is pot metal bad quality?
@kewlken5129

The quality of pot metal varies immensely. Some alloys can be nearly as strong as mild steel, while others are much more fragile. The mechanical properties all depend upon a specific ratio of metals that are combined within the zinc. Trace amount of contaminants (especially lead) will destabilize and ruin the molecular structure.

Cast and Die cast have zero difference, other than pressure. Die cast is aluminum cast under pressure (and no oxygen). Thats it. Thats the only difference.
@happyscrapper8655

The significant difference between the two is the material for casting the products. Cast process uses a pure material, while die casting allows the use of a mixed metal, due to the pressure.

Isn’t the pot metal that you have there just cast aluminum
