[SEL] welding cable

It is as Joe says.  Tin coated copper.  Good for number 2, paying $3.25 in 
Youngstown.

High end welding cable consists of really fine strands of wire that are tin 
plated to stop corrosion. When a cheapo cable gets used and the jacket gets 
skinned, moisture gets into the strands and you get a big green swollen spot 
that eventually causes the cable to fail. Do a google search on tinned 
welding cable if you like.

It's silver. BIG BUKS.

Arnie,

Sure would be nice if it was silver. Maybe I will take it to my jewelry
buddy for evaluation.

Rick,

Seems that when I scrape it, it looks coppery then the copperish color
disappears with more scraping.
