Hello All,

I am looking for scrap lead. Tire weights, sash weights, lead pipe, whatever. Looking for any amount up to a few hundred pounds worth. I will be making sinkers & jigs. Willing to buy it if need be.

Thanks,
Benny

Used to have tons of lead Ben, from shipments of radioactive 32P. Waited 10 half lives and gave it to one of the Skinner brothers. Great to have sinkers and bucktails that "glowed" in the dark, JK of course on the glow, but not the lead. Beautiful virgin lead...

You were probably still in diapers when I had access to that lead...

It’s a hobby. Winter is long and boring.

I used to go around all the tire shops periodically during the year. Before you know it had a few hundred lbs. Needed alot of cleaning but it was free. Very labor intensive work!

I’ve picked up more than a few lead pans from dumpsters where they were renovating bathrooms in the past. Not the prettiest, but 1 pan sure goes a long way
