How it works

From pile to paid in three steps

The camera does the looking. Your magnet and a quick scratch settle the close calls.

Snap it

Point your phone at one piece or the whole truck bed. For a pile, get a bucket or pallet in the shot so MetalMint can estimate weight.

Test it

Tap whether a magnet sticks and what color shows under a scratch. MetalMint uses your tests over the photo, so plated steel can't fool it.

Sell it

Get the grade, the weight range and the payout at today's prices. Then see which yards near you are open and what they've been paying.

It even tells you whether parting it out beats selling it whole.

Questions

Good to know

How accurate is MetalMint?

MetalMint gives an estimate from your photo plus your magnet and scratch tests. The tests matter: plating and paint can fool any camera. The yard's scale and grading set the final payout, and MetalMint shows you a quick test to confirm each grade.

Does it price gold and silver?

No. Precious metals sell by the gram and need testing. MetalMint flags anything that might be gold, silver or platinum and points you to a nearby jeweler with an XRF or acid test.

Is there a phone app?

Not yet. MetalMint runs in your phone's browser, so there's nothing to download, and you can add it to your home screen for one-tap access. iPhone and Android apps are coming soon.

Is it in Spanish?

Yes. Switch between English and Spanish at any time, and the AI writes its results in the language you pick.
