Price on a bucket of once used brass.

[bullet]

I have been shooting alot this year and my kids have been picking up my brass.
I have a 5 gallon bucket almost full of mostly (in order of most to least) 5.56, 9mm, 40, 45, 38, 357mag, .44mag, 454 Casull, 45 LC, 500Mag, 45 70 govt .380 and I'm sure there are some others 303 brit, 30 30 etc.
What is a fair price for this bucket and shells once I fill the bucket, about and inch from the top.
I plan to give my kids all the money for their work.
I know that I can get a better price if I separate the calibers, but it's my kids project and they are too young to know the differances.

Call these guys to get a bottom dollar price for scrap per pound. The Kroot Corporation - Buying & Selling Scrap Metals and New Steel

Then go up from there. I've sold it for a high of $1.90 a pound and lower at times. Seems those buckets run about 80# full.

Edit to add, I'm sleep deprived or something. Make that 40 pounds not 80.

Right before Covid started, I took a 5 gallon bucket of mixed range brass to Metal-X here in the Fort.

It weighed about 20 pounds.

40 cents a pound.

Scrap prices fluctuate. To shooters brass is worth 3 to 4 cents.
