    SCORE!!! Merry Christmas to me!

    I went by the local car inspection station to have my truck inspected yesterday and started talking to the guy who is also an avid shooter. I mentioned that I was always looking for wheel weights and he pointed to a 5 gallon bucket full sitting beside his wheel machine. I asked what he wanted for them and he said, "Oh, how's five bucks?" Sold!!! Now to sort and smelt! Merry Christmas all!

    When you melt them don't let the lead get over 700 degrees, that will let the zinc wheel weights and clips float to the top.

    Great score by the way!

    Just to clarify... we all know that the vast majority of the country (and the world probably) think getting this excited about a bucket of used WW's is just plain nuts, don't we?

    What the heck do they know! Congratulations and Merry Christmas.

    It might be a good thing to drop by the shop with a six pack and arrange to pick up all of his WW's.

    Just a thought...

    Already taken care of...that was all he had but I'll get the rest from now on. A little business thrown his way works well too!

    Great score!~ I can only hope of finding such a deal. I have found a source for ingots, thanks to jetsfan-24. I gotta send him a straight shooter report (as soon as I hit 25 posts, that is!)

    Had the same luck 2 day's before Christmas. Made a delivery and asked the guy if he had any he said sure, your truck open?He came back with a 5 gallon pail that he helped me "toss" up onto the deck of my 5 ton truck.
