If I jog 5 miles or more along a busy road I usually find one or more lead wheel weights and one or more coins. Local storm drains go into salmon spawning streams or the Puget Sound. I've accumulated 1 1/2 large peanut butter jars of wheel weights - and kept them from affecting the fish.
Buckle up - it makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car.
Time to time I will be walking along the road and I always keep my eyes on the ground. I frequently see wheel weights, coins and brass keys. I pick them all up. I have a 5 lb coffee tub half full of wheel weights, and it will be a heavy sucker when it gets full. I will take it in with one of my loads, and when I get paid for it, free money.
I'm looking for lead melting equipment at garage sales(such as reloader or fishermen use). Then I'll cast the wheel weights as 1 and 2 oz spheres in fishing sinker molds and use them as 'bullets' in a sling. Where did Goliath get to? How do I carve 'catch' on the inside of a mold?

you can use a bbq grill for lead melting. Propane or charcoal!
I pay appr 40.00 for a 5 gal bucket full, which ends up being 80-100 lbs. Usually a good bit of valvestems in there too, those are brass cored.
I haven't melted in a bit, was looking for an appr .45 cal roundball mold for "slingshot ammo"
