[Nevalite 10+ year member]

Hey,

I found some wire, It seems to be like industrial sized, like for a power plant or something...I mean this **** is huge, and theres lots of it, it had to be like 1.5 inches in diameter, I thought the biggest was 4/0 (.46 inches) ???

Would it be copper? What is this wire?

If it's copper (probably is) go sell it at a scrap yard. Copper is expensive as **** nowadays, and you could probably earn a pretty penny from it.

I'm guessing its like 535 MCM about, if that is copper how much do you think like 40 feet would go for at scrap yard?

Very good link, looking at that it was either 750 or 1000 MCM...How much is 40 feet worth?
