l worked out of town the months of July/August. During those months l did a bit of prospecting at local tire shops and an indoor range. My haul was around 275 lbs of WW and near 800 lbs of RL. With only 90lbs of RL left to smelt l expect to end up w/700lbs of RL ingots. The range stuff was app 300lbs in chunks and the remainder in loose sweep-ups. The chunks yeilded app 95% lead, swept stuff 80%. l also have around 50 lbs of jackets. l have not yet melted the ww but l hope to get maybe 200lbs of ingots from them. l plan on keeping the RL & WW ingots seperate. Average cost of around $20 per 100 lb bucket of RL and maybe 15 for the WW. My goal is a TON in ingots by Christmas.
