    Yep,

    Fishing weights and jig heads.....wrap with some genuine buck hair (better if shot with a boolit), and tip with a plastic worm, and they are still one of the most effective all around fish foolers!

    Ingot molds.

    Also have several hundred various vulcanized rubber molds for jewelry models. An adjustable mold for pouring round rods and flat blanks of precious metal.

    I think my bride has a jello mold. Do these count??

    I have a Do-it mold that casts two bank sinkers, one 6 ounce and one 8 ounce. I use my questionable alloy for it. No sense trying to lose good alloy when snagging spoonbill.

    I have a round jighead mould with verious sizes I use for slugging barrels. I used to have a slingshot mould that cabelas sold years ago. It had did something like 40 1/4" pellets at a wack and it came in several sizes. I got rid of it after keeping it for years and now wish I had it. There are also hammer moulds and some old tin soldier molds out there.

    I have a mould that casts 4 -4ounce egg sinkers. I bought it when my sons in Fla. were fishing in the keys, would love to use some of them snagging spoonbills in the Neosho in NE Ok. Haven't gotten to do that since '85.

    Various vintage soldiers are available from moulds that were real popular prior to WW II and the discovery of how bad Pb is in the systems of growing children. Wonder how any of us survived to grow up and cast bullets.

    Also, if you have a bunch of lead of dubious alloy, in addition to decoy weights, you can use it up several pounds at the pour by making dive weights for the SCUBA community. Poor quality lead alloy is just about as good as the purest lead mix for these functions.

    Oh gee thanks, Froggie. Here I was chuckling over my new "secret" source of lead at a scuba shop, and you throw in the disturbing thought that some of it might be bad alloy. Cheese, man, what a bummer!

    I use a 250gr boolit mold to cast 60/40 solder into 1/2oz slugs for alloy sweetening. Have to run it MUCH cooler than normal or it takes too long to solidify.
