Small Lead find at the scrape yard 8000 lbs. Very hard lead like 3% + Also found the guy dropping it off. That was the better find. He has 32000 lbs that he will scraped over the next month. Should be interesting thank goodness he has for forklift.
The one piece in the front weighs closed to 40 lbs.
I would rather fish. Can you shoot fish ?

Looking forward to your posting disposal of Excess. Have relied heavily on the Pigs I got from you in the past.

You ain't too far away from me! Better put it under lock and key!
Just joking! Good find!
That would be a fine idea.Originally Posted by MUSTANG
Looks like pieces of bearings and slides for heavy machinery. Might be babbitt metal.

Wow. That is a great find. I usually can find lead in 100 to 300 pound lots, but it is getting much harder to find. Around here wheel weights are unobtainium. My best score was 40 - 22 pound linotype pigs, still have 16 of them and a bunch of muffins. Neighbor worked for a printing company who needed to get rid of their lead and I was only too happy to help them with that.

My avatar is almost a dead ringer for my little buddy Chico. Six pounds of mean that thought he was a Pit Bull. Miss that little guy.
That's enough to make you fall asleep every night smiling for a month or two!
Congrats. Must be nice but not happening out here.
hey Hammer, what mold made those 147's

that is a really nice score, nice clean stuff to start out with
40000 pounds x 7000 /500 = 560000
Based on a normal range day of 50 rounds of big bullets that would be a little over 30 years of shooting.
That would be approaching 2 million rounds of 9mm. Time to invest in a sub machine gun.
Good score.
I see that and think, wow that’s a lot of work.Be safe!
