Okay..................I get it. If I put in enough personal time and effort, I can get all the lead I want from scrounging the auto dealers and tire shops. But what's the trick to finding tin and pewter? We don't have that many yard or garage sales around my area..........and when we do it's mostly children's stuff or kitchen ware. I live in the country and most people don't get rid of stuff. So where do I go to find pewter or tin? The last time I bought tin it was in pure bar stock at $15/lb. I can't afford to do that and continue to cast.
