A bunch of ??? Metal

[Drm50]

Got quite a haul today, about 80lb of common lead. Got 12 sectioned ingots of maybe
some kind of tin? Factory stamped in bottom is:90/10CU/L 159..? Got 10 ingots
that are oval, cast on strip 1/2" thick X & LD on tops, factory stamped T2 on bottom?
Got 7, double square ingots, factory cast labels, Premium Alumaloy Bearing Metal, I
know exactly what it is, but ? for bullet alloy. Also got 20-30 pieces of break off ingots
factory marked A L/P Bearing Metal, on back factory cast "Special"....? I don't know
how much of this will be useful as bullet alloy. Anyone fimilar with any of these. Have
no idea where this stuff came from, but I would guess from area I picked it up- shut
down steel mill.

Most likely they are various forms of Babbitt (or similar) used for bearings.

90/10 CU/L makes not sense. That would 90% copper and 10% lead??????????

Only way to really know (if it is worth it to you) is to have a x-ray gun analysis of each type of metal in each group. I never buy Pb/alloys without 1st having the yard do a gun shoot for me. It is the only way to REALY know for sure. Then you can put the exact %'s into the free alloy mixing spread sheet on here.

You can always make fishing weights or door stops with it.

I was thinking 90% Tin- 10% Copper, when you wipe dirt off, metal is brite silver. Maybe some
one can identify it by numbers. Each on has same factory markings.
