| I have been getting ready for spring and making fishing sinkers. (I make them up every 10 years or so) made about 146 lbs worth in the last week. I give a lot away and sold the rest so it was time to make more. |
Selling Ryedale sorted USA cents
1.5 each + shipping over 500fv 1.5 each +1/2 shipping
If you pick up 1.35 each
located MT/ND boarder.
after Ryedale sorting they are hand sorted to remove canadian then rechecked with Ryedale to insure all copper and count out $50 FV then placed in cloth bags and sealed with #1 copper wire. |

| The only lead i've sold is auto batteries which you get $.12 a pound for. I am sure you get more for clean lead than this. |

| Current market price ranges between 30 to 45 cents per pound. But your best market is local race car drivers, they use the lead for ballast and will pay more than a scrap yard. |

wow 25lbs for $2, great deal. what form was it in?
Tire weights have ?Antimony? in them to harden them. Not sure how that effects everything, but should still make fine fishing weights.
I hoard mine up for cannon balls when the SHTF. |

Its in large oval biscuits and a few round biscuits with a hole through the middle and all stamped national lead. I am with you on the cannon shot. I have a working 35mm black powder iron cannon, just waiting to be used for it's purpose, not just shooting toilet paper on Independence Day. |

| ball molds for black powder guns or ball molds for cannons? I intend on shooting shot shrapnel from my cannon, I am not positive the bore would even hold for a 30mm+ ball, however I know it shoots small ziploc bags of bb's really awesome and other various forms of small scrap metal, and small iron or lead what-nots. |

| Kurr, sometimes Cabelas or Gander Mountain have ball molds, I wouldn't call them cheap though. Try ebay or a local hobby shop. |

| It's not all that unusual to see lead wheel balancing weights on the ground in parking lots. I don't know why I haven't been picking them up and saving them. |

No need for cannonballs, spare coppers should suffice. |
