Went in to look to see if they had any lead. Looks like someone cleaned themout of WW's but they had a barrel w/plain lead in it. Some were factory ingots, so went in to see how much.

Guy told me 20 cents on soft lead and 9 cents on WW's. I perked up and said prices have come down, so I want at least 200 lbs. He backtracked and said that is what we PAY, you pay 80 cents. Pretty healthy markup it seems. Of course, now I know what the tire stores will get paid for them!!

Did buy 68 lbs of the factory ingots, all they had. They also had some chunks , don't know what from, that were about 12"X 6" X2" that I suspect was also pure.

That gives me about 200 lbs of pure. That should do me for a long time.

That was a good find, I'm just starting out, got some guys at work who cashes in cans, told them to ask at the recycle yard next time they are their, may be something will turn up for me.
