virgin ingot???

[leebuilder]

Got a few of these ingots yesterday. Stamped "virgin", a search was a waste of data. It is soft, lead i think. But maybe something else
Has any one know about them?
Thanks in advance

Looks like old plumber's lead. Normally in a chain as said. Used in the olden days to fill joints in pipes, NOT solder.

Thanks, it was linked and in broken pieces. Was mixed in with some divers weights.
Solved.

A mold that leaves "Virgin" or "LME" on the ingot indicates it is pure lead, not re-melted or recovered.

Of course, that assumes that someone didn't get ahold of some old molds to use for their own purposes.
