    Wife scored lead for me

    God Bless her. She made a craigslist score for me while I am over seas. She bought the guy out for 50 cents a pound. 510 lbs of wheel weights all ready sorted. I just have to sort it by COWW and SOWW. She even started going to garage sales and estate sales for me. She hasnt scored any tin alloys but i think this makes up for it.

    I havent scored wheel weights in almost 2 years because of laws, rules, and regs. An old mechanic is retireing and cleaning out his shop.

    Now i just need a little more and i will have a comftable stash to last a few years.

    Better keep that one.

    You're a lucky guy in more ways than one, at a glance that looks like it's the good stuff. I'm happy for you all round.

    My wife is always looking at the Market place posts on FB. I taught her to look at the pics for reloading books, tools, fishing & plumbing stuff. She brought me home an old toolbox full of bank sinkers from a tag sale once, $5.

    My wife is from new New Jersey. I have had to unbrain wash her. Lol her sisters and aunts are liberal snow flakes. They hate me now because of what i did to her. Its fine though, her dad is a retired Master Cheif. Him and I are like to peas in a pod.

    Got my wife scouring the Goodwill stores looking for pewter. When she finds some, I'll be as happy as you are with your score.

    Lucky man! And a great wife you have there.

    Although the woman Im with isnt my wife yet...she got a good score for me a few months back. One of her coworkers was getting rid of his reloading supplies and she locked in a deal for me at $140. When I went to pick everything up there was a thumlers model B, lee classic turret, redding die sets, uniflow+stand, lyman trimmer, brass, bullets, primers, powder and a few other items.

    I'm just happy my wife just smiles when I bring home more pewter or lead when I haven't even made a small dent in the stash I already have.

    That'll be the satisfying kind of sweat that comes out of a good job/deal well done.

    And, yes, 500# plus of lead would be hard on my back.
