    Default Local internet freesite score


    On a local freesite I asked for lead nobody wanted. This guy emailed me saying he has 20-30 pounds. I'm thinking Holy Crud! I can make a bunch of 1/16oz lead head jigs with that much. Got to his house and he pointed to a corner of his garage and said 'there's your lead" Ahh, either this dude is superman or he can't guess weight. Weighed it when I got home. 200 lbs of lead!!! What in the heck am I going to do with that much lead!

    Trade for Jigheads you don't have!!!!!!!!!! I just recently traded 25 horsehead jigs w split rings and blades for 10 lbs. pure lead. Great way for you to get a bunch of jigs and not have to buy the molds to pour them.

    Sent you a PM!!

    Well, took a long handled screwdriver and chiseled a few big chunks off. 60 pounds seems to have tin in it. Turned a dull silver color and more brittle than pure lead. The other two it have weigh 70 pounds each. The seem to be pure lead. Shinny silver color when poured and had to bend more and twist to break the sprew.

    From your description it sounds like tire weight. Pure a couple twists back and forth it comes right off. I'm seriously considering getting a BNH testing meter to test for hardness, pure is listed at 5 on the scale.
