Came across a deal at the scrap yard yesterday, 250 lbs. of lead sheathed cable. About 1/2 inch - maybe less, and has paper insulated very small copper strands inside. Now I've got to figure out the best way to separate and then I'm going to sell him back the copper after cooking off that little bit of paper. Has anyone had any experience with this stuff and do you know the purity of the lead sheath? It is VERY flexible - like lead sheet, which leads me to think pure lead. Any pointers??
Thanks!
