How much different is it from having the metal buried vs. sitting on the ground? Because I see scrap laying around a lot of places. While there is some metal, most of it appears to be construction debris. There is an old oven, a sink, a steel wheel and a water pressure tank. We found a microwave buried back there the other day in one of the old burn piles. A lot of nails and glass too. We tried digging some of that out but it's just like a never ending process, the more we dig the more we find. The whole mess is at least a 1/4 mile from the well.
