Picked up my first bucket of wheel weights from the local guy I go to for auto mobile repairs. Five gallon bucket an inch from the top. Found three disk pads and rubber valve stems in the mix. Oh yippee. How ever I got sixty pounds of lead out of the deal for twenty bucks. That makes it some where in the vicinity of thirty-three cents a pound. I can't complain too much since I am out of work at the moment and it beats the pants off of a dollar a pound. The rest of it was Fe (iron) weights with a smattering of zync. Melted it down over a charcoal fire after sorting it all. The Kingford and tree sticks burns cool enough to not melt zync.

Does any one knows how much a Jefferson cup weighs on average? Picked up two for two bucks the other day.

I hope you meant 60 bucks a bucket.


and it beats the pants off of sixty bucks a pound.

I'm usually guilty of TWD. Typing while distracted. It's pretty hard to type when your fid is trying to pull the keys off the keyboard.
