    Got a bucket of wheelweights

    Paid $15 for it. It weigh in at 110#. I had 18# of junk, 12# of stick on lead and 80# of ww. I figure after smelting it should come to 18cents a pound. I plan on getting some more.

    last week a local repair shop gave me a 3/4 full pail of ww and I got 60lbs off bars out of it. this puts my inventory at 1000lbs which should hold me for some years of casting.

    Got some more ww today. Non sorted 100# for $20 from one tire place. Not a good deal but it will do. The other tire place I got 140# non sorted for $25. A tad bit better. I am now hunting for lead a little harder now. Trying to build up a supply.
