    Best batch of WW's yet.

    I just smelted my latest bucket and 1/2 of WW's. I only pulled out 15 zinc ww's. I get my WW's from the same dealer and normally see 1/2 small coffee cans worth of zincs. As a bonus, thanks to those guys with mag wheels, I got about 3lbs of lead stick-ons for my muzzleloader.

    Beaverhunter2, I see you live in Detroit. Guess they dont drive Euro imports there All Euro cars have had zinc weights from the factory for the last couple years. The last 300 lbs I smelted I hand picked out the zinc and had maybe a coffee can. then I got it hot and found another coffee can worth of zinc. I was amazed at how many of the stick-on weights were zinc. Some of them looked just like normal lead weights that were coated. Now don't pull all the coated ones, since some lead ones comes coated also.

    I notice the buckets that come from the places like "Goodyear" type dealers have more zinc then the buckets I get from the places like "Kelly tire" dealers. I guess the euro drivers are attracted to the "well advertised" franchise places.
