Found this in lead bin while I was buying some lead from scrap yard.
It weighs a little over 5 lbs.No marking on spool too rusty.
From what I have read on the forum I think it is lead solder.
What do you think I have?
I have been looking for tin and pewter to add to the lead flashing I have bought.

flattened it out on end no rosin or core that I can tell
very easy to flatten with pliers
PS went back and broke off another piece and did find a white powder inside?
