Score!

[45 Shooter]

Today I scored all the lead wheel weights I can carry off for .30 cents a pound (might sound high but these are gold around me). This guy has 4 full gaylords of wheel weights! Granted I had to do alot of sorting to pick through the zinc and steel ones but it was quite worth it. After smelting them and skimming the junk off I came out with 81 pounds of alloy! Being new into casting this just made my day. I'll be this guy's best friend for quite some time. :)

Great find, I just ran accross a scrap yard selling for .40 a lb up here in Michigan.

Treat this guy very well. Help him out whenever you can. Great find. Do what you can to see that it remains your spot. Now, go make some boolits. Mike

If they will let you sort on site, offer to sort the zinc ones from the ferrous ones.
A magnet will handle that.
Then ship the zinc to shadygrady who will ship lead back to you.

What is a "gaylord"??? New term to me! How much does one hold??

Time to get a comfortable chair for the place or back up a dump truck to the loading dock .

In my part of the country, the Gaylord, is a heavy corrugated container, meant for shipping, they come in several sizes, most are the size that fit on pallets, 4' x5'.

Very nice. At my local scrap yard I jump right into the Gaylord with my buckets and sort on spot. I pay .60 a lb for them though. But today I got a nice find. I got 2 5 gal pal full of WW for $20. I will need to sort through them to see what I got but from what I have seen it looks like I did good.

At 30c/#, I would buy all he has, it aint getting cheaper.

What Fred said.

Dropped some scrap metals off at my local scrap yards last month and ask the guy what they were selling WW for. He though they were selling them for $.75 lb.
