So how are people storing there bulk copper.. I know some roll them, and put them back in boxes, others use kitty litter pails etc.
Any other great ideas.. I was thinking 2 liter soda bottles would be nice and strong and a decent size for portability and well sealed and even when open cant spill mass quantities unless you really try.
I have a standard ice cream pail almost full now and the weight is getting to the point its not very handy if you needed to move it around.. Not to mention its way to flimsy to trust the handle on them.
Looking for something that can easily be handled by anyone, yet tough enough to get thrown around a bit with no real risk of breakage.
Also I see a plastic of some sort even being able to store outdoors if needed... Not sure is 2 liter soda bottles would survive being buried or in direct sunlight and for how long?

I throw them loose out back and let the dog guard them, hehe.
Honestly, most are bagged in canvas bags and just sit in the corner. And the other corner. And the other corner....

Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

I usually use a penny box to store them unrolled, when i have to use others container i take every plastic bottle i can find and put a layer or 2 of duck tape on them, that way they don't break easily and the container keep it's original form under the weight.
I do not store them outside or buried. |

| the 2 liter bottle will last 50,000 years underground before decomposing, no joke. |

| Canvas bags. $50 each. |
As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?
Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
When I give my two cents, they're always copper! |
