About Rick Davis' Gold & Diamonds
Rick Davis' Gold & Diamonds is a scrap metal recycling operator working out of Chattanooga, Tennessee in Hamilton County. The site serves walk-in sellers, small contractors, and anyone in the surrounding county who needs to turn scrap material into cash rather than haul it to landfill. The site's accepted-material list is not posted in the directory entry for this yard at the time of the current snapshot. On the practical side, day-to-day hours are recorded, and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The directory captures what the yard publishes about its day-to-day schedule and contact channels, both as filed by the operator and surfaced to sellers planning an inbound visit to the gate. Some yards require ID at intake, and a few keep separate records for ferrous versus non-ferrous drop-offs. Sellers planning a first visit should confirm what the gate needs on a phone call so the paperwork side is sorted before driving over with a load.
