Well... I purchased a 150 lb. lot of wheel weights a couple of years ago. I spent a couple days examining each weight to separate the zinc weights from the lead weights. I then cast lead ingots of what was left. I guess I ended up with about 70 lbs of ingots after several days of work. The lot was supposedly all lead.
Since I am retired, I have the time available. But, I did obtain the weights at a very good price and that made it worth while for me.
Hypothetically of course, if I were to find a lead trove in my barn I would feel like it was Christmas. ;=)

Can you give us a source for that price? Highest scrap price I can find for lead of any grade is high .30’sSell it. Lead is about $1 per pound now ($0.96).

Lol, that’s awesome Gator. I have 2 of the little cast iron skillet ash trays that I use.
Oh, ok. I assumed you meant scrap yard prices.The price on Market Insider as of the close of business on October 2, 2020, was $1763 per metric ton. There are about 2200 pounds in a metric ton.
