[Mr.Jody]

Just wondering if any of you have ever found melted lead?What in heck would the lead be used for? It is not aluminum, its way to heavy!

I have found about 30 lbs. around old farm shops. big blobs of lead. I give it to local comercial fishermen to make weights with.

Molten lead was used to join cast iron sewer pipes and sometimes by roofers to join flashing.
Could have been used for a hundred other things.

Maybe a more obvious use of lead = Civil War Projectiles....

Everytime I went to my Nephewes place I found tons of it.

He was up today & told me he found out
the Whole Area Was a Black Smiths Shop & Land.

I used to make my own egg sinkers with lead that I got from the tire store.
Saved myself hundreds of dollars over the years.
I have friends who still cast thier own bullets for handguns and muzzloading rifles.
