Every other signal l get in my fields seems to be lead in some form or other, Just now and then l get a decent artifact like a spindle whorle or weight etc. but the vast majority is just blobs of molten stuff. Most of it ends up in my scrap box. At the moment l'm getting £1 a kilo from the scrap merchant : so it buys my detector batteries. What do you do with yours???
Here is about 2 months worth of lead!!

Hay, the lead makes nice sinkers or quilbys. It also makes nice bullets for my guns, but you guys wouldn't have any use for it that way. cheerio-1.jpg

Melt it down and cast round balls for my muzzleloaders! I even re-cycle from my target backstop area.
