1966 House.
A lot of things were only copper
Drain stacks, water pipes, you name it! COPPER GOLD MINE!
However, you got unlucky that a 1966 has no ground for the receptacles. My 1964 house was wired with copper romex with ground.
My last house was built in '61. It had copper romex with ground to each outlet box -- but not the outlets themselves.
I replaced all those receptacles with 3-prong ones and a pigtail to the box ground. I was so glad that the ground was actually there .... Made the 2-to-3 prong upgrade cake.
