    I pay $5 a bucket but sometimes I get hosed and only get 10 to 15 lbs a bucket. Takes about a hour to sort a full bucket.

    I just picked up 4 buckets from my local supplier to go through and i'm finding about 60% of the wheel weights are steel or zinc. Luckily he only charges me after i sort it and find out how much lead is actually there. I did find the local hospital had quite a supply of 25 lb lead source containers they were paying storage fees on. They are happy now that they don't have to pay for storage or disposal!

    CGC, that solder should work fine for what we do. If I had a steady source for isotope lead I would drop wheelweights like a bad habit! Its good alloy, its usually very clean, and there is no sorting. Win-Win!
