Sorry, gotta share latest score with folks who'd appreciate it. They are pure and just under 50 lbs each.

back in the late 70s i got to buy the lead sheets out of an old xray room. they were 16" x 48" x 1/4" i think around 60 lbs ea. i got 4100 lbs for $410.00. i would like to bake a find like that now. what were those bricks used for? nice find. get it while you can.

Yes, showin off. :mrgreen:

surplus shielding from a "linear particle accelerator" used at a high tech cancer center, a tumor-nuker.

they interlock nicely, the picture from dead on front makes them look square and thicker than they are. The big roll of sheet behind it is showing in the right and it looks like one piece, but it's not. The roll and other 1" thick plate were pretty stout as well.

other angles:
