Bought 8.25lbs of pewter today at an antique shop for $27. Lead keeps getting harder to come by but with the 1000lbs coww ingots ive got i think im set for a while. Spot on tin is $10.50. Keep scrounging.

They can take my guns when they get past my IED's.
I bought an Urn yesterday weight 6lbs $12.50. Any way to test for tin?
MaLar, no home brew way to test for tin that I am aware of. If your urn were pewter, it would likely be hallmarked.
$3.27 a pound... Nice score blaster!
