I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this. So, if it is not moderators, just let me know.
I have 6 ingots that weigh 85 lbs apiece. I was told when i got them, they were at least 20years old. The guy I got them from said he thinks they came from a Foundry. I am new to casting, and am learning on the fly and reading/researching. I think Foundry lead is suppose to be harder than dead lead. Foundry lead has some Antimony and tin in it. I am not sure that this lead has that in it. So I wonder if it is really Foundry lead. Was wondering if I sent a sample of some lead to someone that has either a hardness tester of something that could tell me what this is. I am planning on selling some of it, however i want to be truthful to who buys it and tell them what I know about it. I took a drill and drilled holes in it around, took a torch to try and break off piece. That took awhile.....however I finally took a sledgehammer and beat on it to break off a 20lb chunk. Anyway, if someone is interested in helping a newbie out, I would greatly appreciate it and make it worth your trouble. PM me.
