Hit a home run this week!
Here is NY, wheelweights are largely a thing of the past. Steel, zinc, and composite pretty much rule. Still, I hit up my usual half dozen sources who give me their wheelweights for either a six pack or a dozen donuts. I do it 2-3 times a year, and sort through the various 5 gallon pails, usually netting about a gallon of lead for every 10-12 gallons I sort through.
Anyhow, one of my favorite guys runs a tiny two stall mom and pop type place. I never get a large quantity from him because his place is small, but his lead percentages tend to be higher because lots of older people with older cars tend to go to guys like him (and hence we get the older wheelweights off their older wheels.) He saw me walking in and yells "I think you're gonna like what I found!" In addition to the 1/3 of a bucket I usually get from him, he proceeds to pull out three boxes of unused old lead wheelweights!! Apparently he was cleaning out an old cabinet and found them stashed in the bottom.
Needless to say, he got beer the next day!
