Not sure what we have and would rather confirm with others more knowledgeable and with equipment. My brother picked the ingot up last year and was told it was Tin. I smelted it down today into smaller ingots. I wish i had a thermometer to check the melting temp. so to give some clue. Plan on ordering one this week always wanted one anyway. Any recommendation for thermometer?
So i have two boolits i poured and some other thin sheet type samples i can send anyone and everyone willing to give me some input. I accidentally dumped some alloy on garage floor thinking the ingot had cooled enough to drop. It made a nice sheet to cut into 1" or larger strips. Not sure how much is needed to give some results?
Please let me know if your willing to help and i will send the samples out ASAP. Don't want the samples back just your results.
Thanks
