Got another 3 plus buckets of new WW's. Gonna trade some for automotive work and some for new tires. Hanging on to the rest for other bartering. I picked up a few bucket full a few months back. All good weights, for alloy and for steel wheels.

If the are NEW..........are you absolutely SURE they are all lead? I quit messing with COWW's 2 years ago when the % got to over 50% FE & Zn.

Better check 'em. Today I would not haul a 5 gallon bucket of the things home if they were free.

Yes, they are all lead except for a very few steel stickons which are also new. I don't know why and don't care why they are new scrap.

Running into lots of non lead weights myself. Almost not worth the trouble.

The cowws I am getting are running between 2.44 and 2.72% antimony when I find them. I have a local tire shop that sorts out the zinc and iron weights for me but they dont always do a through job but its still better than buying a mixed bucket and half going to the scrapper.
