I just smelted my latest bucket and 1/2 of WW's. I only pulled out 15 zinc ww's. I get my WW's from the same dealer and normally see 1/2 small coffee cans worth of zincs. As a bonus, thanks to those guys with mag wheels, I got about 3lbs of lead stick-ons for my muzzleloader.

I'm new to casting but in three loads of WW, I found 1 zinc weight.

Beaverhunter2, I see you live in Detroit. Guess they dont drive Euro imports there :) All Euro cars have had zinc weights from the factory for the last couple years. The last 300 lbs I smelted I hand picked out the zinc and had maybe a coffee can. then I got it hot and found another coffee can worth of zinc. I was amazed at how many of the stick-on weights were zinc. Some of them looked just like normal lead weights that were coated. Now don't pull all the coated ones, since some lead ones comes coated also.

I notice the buckets that come from the places like "Goodyear" type dealers have more zinc then the buckets I get from the places like "Kelly tire" dealers. I guess the euro drivers are attracted to the "well advertised" franchise places.
