Ok so I spent the last few hours looking for free lead. Aparently I am not the only one in the area that is doing this.[smilie=b:
I found a half bucket but he wanted 30$ got it for 15$
Another half bucket he said "what will you give me?" I said 5$ he said "OK"
So I ended up with 88.5lbs of wheel weights for 20$
I went over to a guy I know who seems to think he is a salvager. I asked if he had any wheel weights, and he said he melts all his lead together. I asked what all he melts together and he showed me some lead pipe, and roof flashing and the wheel weights, oh and bygolly he found a bucket of wheel weights he did not melt yet.
he said he has around 400lbs of the melted stuff that he would take .75 a pound for.:bigsmyl2:
the bucket of wheel weights he is gonna sell me for .50 a pound and there is 70lbs[smilie=w:
I told him I would try and find someone to buy it cause I dont have that much money.:sad:
As I was leaving he found 4 ingots of extremly hard lead. he hit it with a hammer and it went ping and barely dented it. it has on it S-G and when he hit it with the chop saw there were no sparks. there was 20 lbs and he sold me 1 for 3$
