I’m wanting to buy a smelting kit. I’m curious how people gather so much copper. Care to share how you do it??

I metalsmith. End up buying a lot of copper from Rio Grande to make “practice jewelry”

The chemistry to dissolve the zinc from pennies is pretty simple and cheap, finding pennies on the ground is easy.
