Where can I find Copper? - A Man Standing with a Can of Paint

So it seems that most of the electrical items I need to craft require copper resources, which means that I'm going through a lot of copper and it's quickly becoming a very important resource.

I'm currently on the second settlement quest, and I have a quest to build a recruitment antennae however I don't have enough copper.

What items should I be looking out for and are there reliable places to 'farm' copper, or find larger quantities?
