Have a chance to get 30 lb of wheel weight lead that had a few zinc ones melted in with it. Where a person was using the float to the top method. They got distracted while melting lead for sinkers, without good temperature control, and let a few melt in. It is already in 1 lb ingots.
What I was wandering, If I could get it for free, would it even be worth messing with. Would there be a way to refine it some how that would cost less than the price of just buying good lead.
He says when he remelts to pour it is "sludgy" and barely will fill out a fishing weight mold.
