[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3333967, member: 15054"] I have been buying and collecting lead since I was 12 and using it up as I get it most of the time. But the last 10 years I have really put the squeeze on getting lead. During the 22 ammo scare I had plenty of 22 and gave a lot away for free and traded some for lead. I had a friend that is now dead Carl was his name he owned C&J metals and I traded him copper for lead and many times just bought the lead and he would call me when he got some good stuff. Standard iron and metal had lead last year usually $1 a pound after taxes. I got to pick through wheel weights and plumbing pipe. Recently did some haul off and got a door that was lined with lead on one side. Just a tick under 100 lbs there of pure soft lead. And one more place I get lead is the place I got it when I was 12. Off the road for free. Walk the highway entrances and exit ramps and walk gutters that have a lot of traffic like in front of walmart where other businesses are at. I got tires last year put on my car and walmart was 1/2 a mile away in Yukon ok. I walked the highway on both sides and hit all the ramps and got 4 16 oz bottles full of wheel weights Lead ones..I left the zinc and steel ones. Picked up some groceries and walked back to the tire place. Guys in the tire store gave me a small box of wheel weights 80% was not lead. I also walk the rip rap and shorelines when the water is down and get lures and lead when i am out fishing. One more place is the shooting ranges Public ones usually have a lot of lead laying on the ground at the base of the berms. If no one is there you can pick up a lot of it..People there usually want to shoot. No one in the early mornings usually. But I have only got it there a couple times. Lots of FMJ stuff. I was just thinking I could trade toilet paper or face masks for lead in this Corona scare. [/QUOTE]
