Accidental lead score....

[3006guns]

I've discovered that it pays to ask about lead in places where you wouldn't think there is any.

I took several trash bags of soda cans to our local aluminum recycler and after counting/weighing we went into his office. While he was processing the paperwork I nonchalantly asked if he had any lead laying around. "Oh, you shoot a muzzle loader?" he asked. I told him I love to cast bullets and he scrounged in the junk and came up with a solid 16lb. chunk of soft lead. He weighed it and asked six dollars for it or about .37lb. I not only bought it but made him promise to stash any future lead that comes in.

Always ask!

The way I look at it, if you never ask, you never get anything. If you don't ever tell anybody you are looking for something, how will they know?

I casually mentioned to a friend (who frequents the thrift shops) that I was looking for some cheap cast iron or stainless cookware for melting down wheelweights. A couple weeks later, I got a call that he had a couple small cast iron "kettles" that would probably hold about 5 lbs of lead in each. He paid a buck apiece for them and gave them to me.
