Score of a lifetime!

[Nocturnal Stumblebutt]

Went to the scrap yard today with the intention of just looking around, check the lead barrel, and what did I find? A reel of 95/5 solder with about half a pound left on it and...

A WHOLE 20 LB REEL OF 40/60 SOLDER!

Best part - $0.30 a lb.

Good find, got to love it when you have a good day at the scrap yard.

you didn't pass up 10 lbs of 20-1 alloy for 30 cents a lb did you?

Not sure what you mean?

Gee, never know what you'll bump into when you stumble around in the dark! [smilie=1:

that's not the score of a lifetime, a 10 ton block of lead is, for free!

nice score none the less, wish my scrap yards sold lead.

the 5% tin solder is 20-1 alloy by another name.

I think what he has is "lead free" solder, which is 95% Tin........

Typically 96.5% Tin, 3% Silver, half a percent of Copper, and sells from $25 to $75 a pound on eBay. Look at "Sold" instances of "Kester Solder" on that site and you'll be amazed!
