Codex entry

  1. Entry 1

    Scrap-grade ferrous and non-ferrous accumulation, typically dumped by pre-war recycling consolidators awaiting smelter pickup. Institute material reclamation teams rate these deposits as the most efficient bulk source of usable aluminum, steel, and structural alloy in the region.

  2. Entry 2

    A good metal pile sings under a hammer, scavengers say. Dead piles thud. The sound tells you whether the rust has gone all the way through or just sits on the surface. New diggers learn to listen before they learn to look.

  3. Entry 3

    A scavenger working a pile near the Utah border reported a steel beam too heavy for its dimensions. Institute follow-up confirmed the mass discrepancy: the beam weighs three times more than its volume should allow. It has not been moved from the recovery site.
