David: You do know that the late 70s were only 20 odd years after McDonald closed down, but forty years back from now.

There will be nothing in the brandon scrapyard from Shilo. There was an oldtime scrapyard just off the first street bridge where the RCMP re-enactors picked up a tank barrel (possibly Sherman) back in the 80s to make their black powder cannon. But that yard is long gone, now converted into a park because the gorund is so contaminated the city could not build on it. The only scrapyard left does not hold onto metal, but processes it quickly and sends it on.

Things like breeches go to the smelter in Edmonton or Montreal. They do not get disposed of locally.
