Scrap metal pays the bills . When I had more time I would cook lead in large batches and cast ingots that I would then sell, Right now I am just selling off what's left of that supply, but I still have a large quantity of raw scrap lead. Roofing lead, lead pipe, gas pipe, plumbers lead, wheelweights, and other unidentified lead scrap. If you wanted to buy in volume we could work something out. I also have a few strings of five pound plumbers lead pigs left. That is all soft lead straight from the foundry that was once used in the plumbing trade for sealing cast iron pipes and other tasks. I have an entire roll of thin lead sheet used for roofing, must be 300 pounds, or at least more than I can move. I have some babbit, ( very hard stuff) body work 50/50 solder sticks, and bricks of what is probably antimony. I haven't confirmed it yet but I think we still have two 55 gallon drums full of used wheel weights buried out back someplace, probably 2000 pounds worth at least, maybe more.
