Fallout – find more Fat Man mini-nukes in Fallout 4

There are a few sites (like this one) that have lists of source materials for copper. I basically pick up everything I can and take it back to my workshop for scrapping. Most of the items that contain copper seem to be electrical items, like lamps/fuses, hot plates, etc. I keep an eye out for those items while I'm scavenging.

Regarding the "large quantities" part, I think that's the challenge. I've been roaming for quite a while, so I've picked up quite a few toasters and hot plates/etc, but they never have tons of copper. It's just a constant struggle to keep an eye out for it.

For reference, I'll repost them here.
