got a few ingots from a friend who knows I cast. they are obviously not soft lead, but rather hard. stamped on the top is the numbers 35 65 as you will see in the picture below. anyone have a clue what alloy mix this might be? be nice to know what it is so I could have a direction to go in what to use it for! thanks for any help!

About $5.00 per pound worth.

i plan on melting them down to usable ingots and would like to add lead to make a ratio that would be easier for me to do math with.. weighed on my ultra precision el-cheapo bathroom scales they are about 7lbs each. the ingots i use for casting are 1lbs each so they'll be converted soon enough.
anyways thanks for the replies guys
