I have 1,225 sq. ft. of small link aluminum chain link fencing that is

going to be buried as the start of my ground system in this graded
area.

which will most likely disintegrate in the ground into white powder.


Anyone remember "beldfoil" aluminum sheilded cables?
It was sold in the 70's as a replacement for copper shielding.
After a few months exposure to salt air, the aluminum turned into white
powder, leaving only the drain wire as a sheild. Not very effective.
I think they've given up on that, and gone back to copper, though I have
seen copper shield used along with the aluminum-mylar material.
