Smile yay for scrap steel!!

well in the past cupple days i have been scavenging arround my dad buisness... before he bought it it was an old ty-crop building were they built and fixed trailers...when they sold it they left about 80 tons of scrap steel!!!
also lots of HUGE brake drums.... like the ones from busses...
i have sofar gotten a 1 inch thick piece of square thats 10 feet long..
A 5 foot long piece or 1 inch round...

6 12 foot long pieces of 8th inch sheet steel..

about 10 3 foot pieces of 1 inch round and some 2 inch by 9th inch thick pieces that are 2 feet long...

also theres about 150 feet of 3" C channel

Theres more but i just havent gotten it yet...
anyone have any ideas?

i am planning a walk along the RR tracks soon to get some spiges and whatever alse i can find....

theres lots of little scraps that i wish i could sell off real cheap to metal casters but my dad dosent like the idea of me making money off his steel!!
