I have said it before: 'Collect copper wire; it's pure. Most people accumulate some it anyway, before throwing it out. As a kid, I used to scavenge rubbish dumps for scrap metal. Scrap copper was a good money spinner for me.
Most waste authorities won't let kids anywhere rubbish dumps these days; the do gooders have stopped that. Still, a bit of opportunistic roadside shopping can yeild some good scrap metal occasionally, and it can still be had for free. All you need is a scrap metal merchant to sell it to.
Never go for ferro metals, except stainless steel. Not worth the effort.
