Found some alloy. Some sheet stuff, scuba weights, race car ballast, and maybe some pewter? Do I make ingots of the different alloys separately? sheets are very soft and the ballast scratches a little easier than the scuba weights.

The problem with race car ballast is that it could have zinc in it. Same for the scuba weights.

Do the acid test!

Yes, acid test the weights and melt any that don't bubble as a group. Melt the sheating seperately. Sheeting should be near pure, weights could be anything. Melting the weights together makes one pile of ??? rather than several.
