[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 3486046, member: 38658"] Buddy of mine has a very busy garage and sells a ton of tires. Asked him if he had any of the wheel weights and he said he collects them and sells to a guy that passes through. He asked if I was looking for some and I said yes. Long story longer, he said you're a friend and local, I'll sell to you. Anyway, here is two of the buckets. I've got 4 and a small bucket left to pick up and another one if I want it. I do. Just the ones I bought today, we weighed and it came in over a thousand pounds. I know I have to go through and separate the zinc and trash but WOW. He charged me less than the other guy so I got it all for $180.00. Can get the other bucket if I want it and it weighs 167lbs. That's very cool. Got to find a place to put them. Wife will not be happy to see them in the garage so I'll figure something out. Put them in shed but that's a lot of weight. I'll pick up the last bucket next week. Plan on separating one bucket and smelting it and making ingots. Should give me an idea of how much I can make. Will need to learn a bit more on the hardness needed because it will have the soft square lead pieces as well. I'll do a bucket at a time and get it all ready for making bullets. The OCD will kick in here so I'll figure out how many bullets I should be able to get out of an ingot in Grains. Good to know because I don't want to have 10 tons of lead.....Ha. The EPA would have a fit. Happy New year to all Here's two of the buckets. [ATTACH=full]185982[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
