Is there an easy method for sorting out the zinc wheel weights? I have a heaping 5 gallon bucket and don’t want to look at every one individually. I can tell by the sound by tapping them on concrete, I can bend the long lead ww’s or cut them with just about anything, but, 5 gallon bucket, thousands of weights…

Should I get a pot of lead melted and start putting them in by the hand fulls and skim off what floats? I don’t have a thermometer for the lead so there is the danger of getting it too hot and melting the zinc. I’ve read that the zinc with ruin the lead for casting but could it be “fluxed” out?
