Little trick i used so they wouldnt stick the first time i used this muffin pan a year ago. I took a propane torch and heated up each cup so all the non-stick stuff was burnt off sprayex with water and left out over night to rust. Worked like a charm.

Happiness is making old lead pipe into...............almost 3k BRP 38 special plinkers, just over 1500 Brp .50 maxi hunters, or around 3600 Lee/Willbird 122 grain RNFP 32/20 boolits.


I really miss the days I "found" this stuff hanging off from my backhoe teeth. Luckily I hoarded some away after the laborer or myself pryed it out of my teeth.

You done good.........enjoy your plunder. :wink:

Steve- Very nice pile! Gotta love fresh muffins! :mrgreen:

leadbutt- Yeah, I haven't come across lead pipe yet either. You'd figure as many years as it was used, it would be everywhere!

Start calling a few excavator contractors. Tell them you are interested in old lead service lines they might come across..Try the smaller guys first as they are usually much easier to deal with.
