Oil field pipe is likes flies on cow dung around here. You can find it everywhere. If you look around you can see many a cow/horse yard built out of it. Many swear by it because it is cheap and plentiful. Heck you can often find it for close to scrap price. I had one guy give me a 16 foot trailer load of it all cut into 7 foot lengths ready to be used for fence post. All I had to do was load it and haul it off.
So one must ask themselves WHY would someone sell pipe piece mill when they could just haul the whole load to the scrapyard and unload the whole lot at one time for about the same price.
Well I found out the hard way WHY. I hauled that load home and used it as fence post for years. Worked around it all the time. Then when it starting rusting out years later I tore the fence down and hauled the pipe to the scrap yard. Imagine my surprise when the scrap yard said.... Sorry we can not take that.... Its radioactive!!!!!
Yes this is more of a problem in the south so you may find some pipe that will be great; but you better at least check it before buying it. And I do not mean taking the pipe sellers word for it that it is clean.
Just google used drill pipe radioactive or oil field pipe radioactive and watch how many hits you get about the dark and dirty little secret the oil companies what to keep hush hush.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
