If you are looking to get scrap metal or wire, you most likely don't want to pay for it. If you don't mind paying, simply go to you closest scrap yard and explain that you just want to buy a little wire. (you will probably have to pay 2x their buying price)

If you are looking to find your own, just go to http://scrappingmetal.blogspot.com and read the "How To" that is there
