You may not trespass, even to retrieve your own property. If the metal was left behind, for a year, it may be considered "abandoned" and your brother may have already disposed of this. If you really want the metal, and he still has it, you may be able to sue in small claims court for the value of the metal, but be prepared to explain to the court why you waited a year or more to claim such valuable property.
