    Is the metal hard or soft?
    If its hard, its probably not lead.

    To me it smells like a hardened steel or carbide tip from the cutting head from some road grinding machine or road hole boring machine.

    A friend of once bought a baggie of copper objects that looked exactly as yours do at a yard sale. He thought they were HB target bullets. Upon examining them further we discovered that they were welding tips from an robotic welding job in an auto plant that someone had `borrowed` for the copper.Robert
