A show called "Treasure Quest" had one story about something called "low Alpha lead" so long story short it is something they use in the computer industry, is very valuable, and I think I have may have several hundred pounds in the shop, but have not been able to find any place that will test and buy.


Have done multiple INTERNET searches, called scrap yards, all I can find is places selling the stuff and they are not talking...

This stuff goes for 20-100 bucks (depending on alpha count) a pound so you can see why I would love to find someplace purchase it. Any suggestions welcome!!!!
