Maybe check with a local fishing tackle shop to see if they would give you something for it.
They can make new sinkers with it

I save mine for making bullets if I ever need to. You may find someone who wants to buy it to make their own bullets

If you are into fishing get a mold and make your own weights, if not there are always fishermen looking for lead to melt down.

My buddy said he was gonna make some toy soldiers with his lead. I thought that was pretty clever. Shouldn't be hard to find a mold and start melting.

There are two very important things that you DO NOT do:
1. Breathe the fumes of molten lead.
2. Never drop or pour water into a molten lead pot (It explodes into airborne lead droplets). OK to drop lead into water though. That's how shot are made.

Great advice, thanks.
