Like I posted, networking works. It may not pay off immediately but it works. A friend visiting here from out of state just brought me a box of wheel weights from the dealership that he works at. His Son looked at the weights and says "you want lead'? I'm a roofing contractor, I'll bring you some next time. I just returned from a short road trip picking up 400# of reclaimed shot, for free. A friend told a friend kind of deal.
Familiarize yourself with the things that once were made of lead. Always be looking around. Wheel weights, flashing, printing type, water pipe, cable sheathing and splice covers, counter weights, sail boat keels, dive weights, decoy weights, fishing weights,the list is endless. I bought 5600# of sorted wheel weights and ingots last summer. Came from paying attention.
This is a friends share of that score.
