Been spreading the word that I am looking for lead. My step-father found some from a old mechanic friend of his. He dropped off this haul today for the what the salvage yard is paying $0.25/lb. At the cost it figures out to just under 300lbs. Have found some iron and zinc in it, but seems to be a very small percentage at first glance. At least I can sell it back to the local yard for the price I paid.

This was the last purchase of 200lbs of sorted lead wheel weights, unfortunately they weren't as cheap, but did come with some cast ingots in the mix.
