Same thing happening in Flint and even the crews doing the pulling are under strict “no leave” orders. Not hearing of any of it hitting scrap yards either but I could be wrong there.
    Just did a quick search and looks like you could get hazmat certified online. Since you would be "recovering" smaller amounts - non cdl required vehicles, looks do able but I am not giving advise of any type as to quote Schultz, I know nothing.

    Yeah, I think that’s a little outside my effort to value of payoff scale. I’ve done ok sourcing elsewhere.

    If your in for a laugh on eBay, lookup the seller wrecked_fishing_gear, veteran owned company and they sure know how to advertise ingots...

    LOL need a few of those at our range. Used to shoot at a range near me called Los altos the guys would bring girl friends to shoot. I swear when some of the curvy girls them took a deep breath and I could look down the line and see all the guys IQ dropping.

    The regulars, men and and women alike, quickly learn that open necked tops are not a good idea when shooting semi autos. Those who do so, especially ones sporting generous body proportions, are soon sporting nasty brass burns.

    Lead is where you find it. Today most of mine comes from berm mining a couple outdoor ranges I belong to. If you buy on line, make sure it's already ingots. If I am paying much more than $1.25/# delivered, I am not buying it.
