Now I've seen it all: .....There's a guy on Ebay proudly selling "Lot of 12 lbs of lead/zinc bars used for making bullets or sinkers. "
He has GOT to work for the Government! - "Take what everyone else considers to be a problem, and declare it to be a FEATURE!!"

Rare, Vintage lead-zinc bars, no doubt. Highly desired by lead-zinc bar collectors.
This reminds me of the newsgroups when I was at Delphi (Delco Electronics). There were posts on the for sale groups on the order of:
o Free firewood - it's currently in the form of dead tree in my yard - you cut it down, split it and haul it.
o Free used shingles - they are currently installed on my house - you remove and you haul
o Free organic fertilizer - it's currently in the form of effluent and sludge in my septic tank - you pump and you haul.
o Free mulch - its currently in the form of leaves in my yard - you rake, shred, and haul
:coffee:
Reminds me of another guy on ebay selling lead ingots FOR INVESTMENT
You'll wish you had some when the patent on my transmutation machine goes through... ;)Quote:

Shot makers actually like the increased surface tension from what we think of as Zinc "contamination". Different process, different needs.
