    Thar's lead in them thar hills

    I found a stack of lead bricks while in northeast A'stan. They measure 2"x4"x6". They seem to be from some kind of counter weight. The down side is I could only score one and then I have to figure a way to get it home. Maybe I will just use it as a door stop and call Rotometals.

    Dang. So close yet so far away.

    Boolit metal blocks in Northeast Afghanistan? Hell, tell your superiors that you're depleting the strategic reserves of the enemy by bringing them home. To add to your credibility, find an old Martini and say "See! This is what they plan to melt them for!" They'll probably send you home with your ingots, your Martini, pin a medal on you, AND promote you!
