How much copper is on my reel?

[texas]

Probably a dumb question, but I haven’t seen this asked before and maybe someone here is smarter than me. My neighbor (awesome dude) is moving to South Carolina to be with grandkids and clearing out a bunch of salmon fishing tackle. With some other stuff I bought, he threw in this copper reel. Said he couldn’t remember where it came from even. Anyways, I’m somewhat baffled at figuring out how much line is on it. Is there a preferred way? Thought about just taking my wife to an empty football stadium by my house to walk it out and measure….any insights?

Here is a great copper resource written by our own Capt Rob Westcott:

But the football field works too...

Hey thanks! I have read Captain Rob’s write up before. Probably the single best I have seen on copper setups. Also been out fishing with him before, hell of a captain. I was really wanting to know if there was any quick and dirty way to estimate how much copper was on this specific reel. Sounds like I’ll just be making a trip to the football field LOL.
