Thanks for the video, but I haven't had any trouble identifying lead in 40 years...

I got burned on 80 lbs of wheel weights $40, Iowa does not use WWs anymore, but truck WWs are still lead and I got 200 lb off a older man at a truck stop, those are the big 5 oz and larger weights and he had a great attitude towards the federal government and state with all their stupid laws. good people still out there.

+1 One of the awesome benefits of the internet I guess. I've been IDing lead since about 1970 and only in the last few years have I come to understand I needed elaborate instructions to get it right. It's a wonder my guns didn't disown me.

There is now a lot more non lead WW in the batches i have collected. They are getting harder to acquire.

This explains the huge increase in non-lead WWs as of late.

1 more link and its the high road but if you scroll down past 2 ads they show wheel weight id pics but no pics but some very good abbreviations for the different metals that are on wheel weights, and I found these to be more help than the video,I found a lot of Fe in my new batch of WWs. and some PZin and a lot of MC, AW.most thankfully a lot of nice P, which I hope is lead.

The last bucket I got from the shop that has our tire account is over 50% 4oz zinc ww's. Lot's of trucks going to them.
