    A lot more than that around here! We have people selling lead at 1.50-2.00 a LB and thats old dirty stuff! Lino?? I have no idea what that would be locally.

    The local yard has 2 55 gallon drums of sorted wheel weight for .70 a pound. I would have to have help hauling/ smelting that much. I try to get clean lead and lino from them.

    None of the local scrap yards will sell anything, some of the local car junkyards will.
