    Is this useable?

    I picked through a new bucket of wheel weights today and found quite a mixed bag.
    There a re the obvious steel ones, some clearly marked (some not so clearly) zinc ones, with Zk stamped on them ( although I thought they should say Zn )
    Then there are these ones that appear to be lead but have Gr & Pb on them. Any hints on wether they're useable or not?

    It's hard to tell the size but maybe the marking means "50 grams Lead"? If they're a little under 2 ounces that's what it would be.

    Sorry, They're about an inch by an inch and they're the 'stick-on type weights (which used to be soft lead, but these days i'm trying to exercise caution)

    Pb stands for Plumbum, the chemistry name for lead.
    The way is ONLY through HIM.
