I don't recall the address exactly, but be sure to look up the scrap  
yard in North Durham and check it out along with the others. Should be  
able to look it up under recycling or scrap somewhere.

Lots of worthwhile metals and machine parts and they actually make  
some effort to sort interesting objects out to be noticed because  
local artists stop in there from time to time. Cost is by the pound.
