Yesterday morning dawned cloudy and cold with a steady drizzle. I had planned to go to the range but didn't want to put up with the lousy weather. I was about to sit down at the reloading bench when my wife said "honey, there's an estate sale a few blocks away that I want to go to. You should go with me." I reluctantly agreed and braced for what I thought would be a less than exciting event. When we got there I immediately found a solid pewter plate that I quickly snatched up. I proceeded to go into the garage and noticed some reloading tools scattered about. I began looking through some cabinets and found an old ham tin full of recovered bullets and lead. Most of them looked to be hard-cast and I guessed there might be 10-12 pounds in the tin. I walked up to the lady running the estate sale and asked her what she wanted for the items I found. She looked at the plate and then the bullets and said "you can have the plate for 2 dollars, and you can have those yucky bullets for free!"
Needless to say, I gladly gave her two dollars and took the stuff home. I found that the pewter plate weighed 1lb10oz and the bullets actually came in at 16 lbs. My wife saw that I was pretty happy and said "see you should come with me to these things more often."
I do believe she is right!
