Nice find today

[retread]

Friend stopped by to see if I wanted a "small lead ingot". Did I smile when I saw it. Just yesterday ran out of my small supply of solder.
Looked up the composition 88 tin, 4 cu, 8 antimony. Checked out at about 36 BNH.

81636

Nice. What does it weigh?

Those letters filled out beautifully. But I guess that's not too hard when you have 88% tin, is it?:) Nice find.

This similar looking one apparently is 3 5/8 lbs:

Mine weighed out at 2.92 lbs. I think the guy on Fleabay should check his scale, looks like the exact same ingot.

You just didn't have your thumb on the scale, it takes practice. :wink:
