Mike,
It's interesting to listen to others opinion of what’s scrap and what’s not. Twenty or thirty years ago salvageable parts were getting tossed because better stock existed. Today we're digging (Literally) for anything we can find. Moral: What looks like worthless junk today might just be gems in 10 years...and that’s been proven time after time.
Don't through those bent nails away folks, someday a notorious nail straightener like me or Mike will be looking for 'em!
