How do I sell a big, heavy, sheet of copper?

Who in their right mind would by my house?

It's in Georgia- right?

To clean it off, I'd start with a product called Tarn-X available in small bottles at pharmacies like CVS, Walgreen, etc. as well as hardware stores.

This is the stuff they dunk a penny halfway into on TV and it comes out brilliant copper just from having been dunked.

Wipe this stuff all over the sheet with a rag. You should be good to go.

Seriously-
You might sell it for what it is-
an ANTIQUE lightning rod system ground plate.
If so, I would NOT attempt to clean it.
Doncha git any flatlander touristy folk up there?

Use it for a ground plate for a lightening rod system for your home.

This advice from someone that has been hit by lightening 3 times, twice in Georgia, and both times in my own house.

I garanteeee you'll never see no Bigfoot on yer front porch.

If'n he made it into a still (a proper thing for a boy from the hills to do with it), I can almost guarantee he would see a bigfoot! Just from quality control testing on his production. If he doesn't, he's not drinking enough.

+1 for finding interested artists. I would suggest also looking up art schools, who likely have more money set aside for materials than the artists themselves.

Here's a no brainer-make a table out of it for outside. I have an old Singer Sewing machine set of legs legs that I put a piece of marble on out in the yard and it makes a wonderful garden table and is quite attractive. A square copper table top on a base of your design would look WAY neat in the garden for resting your mint Julieps upon whilst directing the help.

Here's a fun thing to do. Stand it up in your yard and make believe you are a gangster from the 40s...pull out your gun, then yell at it, 'you'll never take me alive copper'!

I think I'd scrap it. Prices change daily and depend on the type of scrap, how clean it is, etc. But I'd believe it would bring around $350+.

Last summer it would have been twice that.

Cash is always good...

It probably wouldn't hurt to check the yellow pages for companies that install lightening rods.

They may have an interest for a current specific application, or for nostalgic reasons.
