My lee pot came with one of those for free when I bought it, got her fixed up good though.
I should of took a picture, it made it's way all the way to the spout to block the drip the last time the guy turned it off.

Same here, I've melted a few nice ones, though not last night, more like last year.

I had one like that I started up my pot and after a little bit ran in the house for a couple minutes and when I went back to the garage there it was so from now on I don't leave it unattended. They do look cool. I had to chop it in half to get it back in the pot.

In the first pic, the one on the left looks like some sort of long haired evil creature. lol
My Lee 10 pound pot never used to drip that bad, but my 20 pounder will form those interesting little things here and there.

You obviously have way too much time on your hands....:) Go find something to do.

I most certainly do :-p Got my 6 cavity in today and it seems I don't nearly the buildup while I'm using it. Still finding that nice sweet spot between the mold being too hot and waiting too long for the lead to cool in the cavities, and the mold being just cold enough that the bullets annoyingly stick in the cavities.

I've never had one, my Lee pot doesn't drip.
My Lee pot doesn't drip either. ( Wait a minute!!, I forgot to plug it in!! )
Last time it got away from me I ended up with almost half the pot in an ingot rather than the nice, pretty, artsy, pictures posted. Wish I had a picture of that one.

A new folk art! With the right connections you could sell it in Hollywood/LA for a good sum. Drill a hole in it for a hook as an earing.
PS> don't tell them it is lead though.
