Default Newbie he Where to get metal cheap?

Sorry, guy, but you just pushed one of my buttons...

When you ask a "where can I find" question, TELL US WHERE YOU ARE...

I am in San Jose, CA, and I can tell you several places to get aluminum for
$2 - $3 a pound. But it doesn't do you a damn bit of good if you are in,
say, New Jersey.

But I'm sure there are people in that area on this NG who would be more than
willing to help you if they knew you were a neighbor...

Just got a chinese mini mill and want to play with it. Any hints on where
to find scrap metal to work with like aluminum? I looked online and found

a
2" x 2" x 6" piece of aluminum and it was around $90. That's a lot of

money
to spend to make an ashtray.

So, if you have any ideas how I can have fun with my new hobby and not go
broke I'd like to hear.

Thanks,
Gary
