You'd think as diligent as the Vatican has always been about keeping church records,
they can figure out who is in it.

I read somewhere that when it burned, several tons of Lead melted out of the roof coverings.

Health Hazard! As lead experts We could help them eliminate the problem.

Could hold back the plague, oh wait, nevermind

That yellow color in the smoke as the cathedral roof burned: I think at least one form of lead oxide is that color. I wonder, then, how much of the lead roof literally went up in smoke.

gonna need extra ingot moulds for this and a bigger dipper

[lightman]

If I had any of the lead from the roof I would cast it into a nice ingot and keep it for show and tell.

Or make little medallions and sell them for $20 each. If they weighed 2 oz each you would get $160/lb. $96 million.

I'd cast it into bullets , show them to a burglar and tell him to git gone .

As many times it's been blessed it's likely the most accurate lead in the world.

Heck no, I would make sure the seal was still good and encase it in more layers. How evil do you need to be to be buried in a lead coffin?

My wife inherited a Large house in Austria, replacing the 240 year old roof composed of lead sheets underlying Red Tile turned out to be quite expensive. Of course the old lead was salvaged. hopefully some of the lead was made into Boolits.

Good Shooting

Melt every last bit of it for boolits. Spare not a single ounce. Lead is EXPENSIVE now. I'm glad I stock piled over the decades. Back in the 70's and 80's, I traded scrap iron for lead at the local scrap yards. During the 90's into the early parts of 2000, I picked up barrels of linotype from newspapers and printshops when they started changing over. They were basically giving it away just to get it out of their way. I bought buckets of wheel weight from the tire shops back then. Now days, they use zinc or some such nonsense.

I've got enough WW to last me for the rest of my life. I remember watching the news clips of the cathedral burning. Sort of an emotional experience watching something that you have seen in person as a famous landmark(?) go up in flames. I hope when the reconstruction is over it looks the same as before the fire.

When I visited Quebec l would look longingly at the lead rooves of churches.

This is pretty common in older cities. A few years ago we vacationed in Charleston and took one of those carriage rides. Lots of older buildings had lead on the roofs.

And would you still need holy water or silver for vampires and werewolves?
