wow the bullet gods smiled on me!!!!! in the course of work i met a fellow who runs a radiator repair shop( for the last 36 years!) i remembered him from my youth as a DCM competitor he was 40s-50s i was 20 something mentioned i was into casting now he says come here and look@ this
WE go into the back of the building and he says take it!!!!!!!! before my eyes were over 25 five gallon buckets FULL of solder droppings and scrap from the bottom of his tanks!!!!!!! most is 60/40 mixed with 50-50 bar even chunks from bars wow I bet it will make gREAT BOOLITS 5 GALLON bucket of it mixed with 15 gallons of WW i bet it will be a fine alloy!!!! I can save my 35 gallon barrel of lino!!!!!! and leave my solder stock alone for a long time!!!!!!!
It will have lots of debris,slag etc but hey FREE tin is GOOD tin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great score. Should take a few propane tanks to smelt that down.
