a sleeve of lead, off the plumbing of an old house.

And ... for those whom are melting, or thinking of melting : BE AWARE - - you should have a mask on, be in a well ventilated area, wear gloves and protective clothing, and use every precaution to protect yourself and those around you. Molten lead can produce severe burns, if it comes in contact with skin. Lead vapors are poisonous !! Be safe when working with lead.
