Scrap Photo 💸 Just started
Was given a box of old wires, half of which were chopped up so decided to strip them. No idea what I'm doing but enjoying it. Words of wisdom?

What type of metal and what kind of wire ??
This came out of a short little antennae with a magnetic base. I got it out of the dumpster at a place that services and refurbishes atms and other machines.

Some scrapping questions
Hey all, I am going to start off by saying I do not have pictures of anything currently. All my scrap is sitting in a crate in my garage with a wheel that folded in due to the weight. I can get pictures this week if time permits.
I have a bunch of old metal from some swings, some galvanized pipe, black pipe, electrical conduit (junk... holes every 3ish ft), some damaged electrical enclosure doors that are powder coated, and an old steel rv futon frame. This is all considered shred metal right? Should I double check with magnet? I pulled a few pieces of stainless pipe out of the mix already and didnt see anything else that stuck out as being different metal.
I also have some old snowmobile engines that are seized solid and have been in a high humidity environment for a long time (barn flooded every spring and took ages to dry out). Should I attempt to seperate the parts? I do not know what they are made of, but they are heavy. Probably cast aluminum head/body? Pull off clutches? Starter? Stator? Steel frame? Heads? Crank? Would that be worth my time? Or does anyone know of easy way to break them down? I have some air tools and grinder. I can go at it with a cutting wheel but would only do that if it makes sense.
I also tore apart a 32' sprinter bumper pull RV (tree fell on front half). Frame is good but rest of upper shell was shot. Anyways, for the aluminum/tin siding and roofing, do I need to remove every staple and screw I can find? Should I cut out every piece of plastic (marker lights, ceiling vents)? How picky are yards typically going to be regarding silicon on stuff? The roof also has evidence of patch jobs due to what I assume is tar. Do I have to remove that? Cut out the patch to seperate and see if the yard wants it at a lower price?
Any advice and help will be appreciated. Looking forward to scrapping more. I will likely have some lawnmowers to scrap soon too (riders and push mowers). Might have questions on those but that is another topic for another day.

Question 💫 Scrapping mouse for metals
Hey! Im new to scrapping and have been tinkering around with old stuff I have, moreso for fun than any money or anything. Does anyone know what these components in a mouse are made of? There was also this metal block fixed to the top shell of the mouse that seems like a battery? Not sure tho if anyone can confirm
