Scored about 400 lbs of lead ingots this weekend, all 1 or 1/2 lb ingots. Pencil hardness is ~9 brhn, would you remelt make new ingots and xrf or just add some Linotype to 12-15 brhn? This was from telephone lead but is not known if anything was alloyed as this was this persons father’s, who passed.
Wow, and I thought my 1000lb pile was enough! Good score, hope those martini bullets keep on coming for a very long time...
Very satisfying to look at the pile, thinking,”That’s mine”.
Even better when looking at the stack of ingots made from it.
Congrats on a great score.
Congratulations!

Free lead is always hard to walk away from! Now the work starts.
Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.
Free brass is always hard to walk away from too!
That's a lot of lead. You could make yourself a lead coffin, put some of your toys and reloading gear in with you, and add a sign that says, "I'm taking these with me".
How the heck did you move it?!
Nice win!
