rusty old nails from the pallets

[spader]

I am taking out 100s of the old rusty nails from the old pallets. (a very tedious job indeed)
The dismantled woods will be cut into the lengths and made into a new door for the garden shed, replacing the old rotten shed door, and some slats will be patched on the rotten parts of the shed.

Any ideas for recycling these rusty large nails? or making into something else?
After all, they are made of steel too. Look like carbon steel.

You might get £5 for a bucket full .

Who buys them?

Scrap metal dealer, they'll probably be a few in your area.

I use old metal paint cans (5l) or old steel drums (20l) as bins for all old nails/screws/small steel items. They go in with the general scrap whenever I have a clear out at the scrappies.

Last time round it was about £150/tonne - 15p a kilo.
So a paint tin full is gonna be about £1.

Atleast the stuff will get recycled.
