I have read through a lot on here but can't find anything on how to tell if I have tin. I was just giving about 50 pounds of what he thinks is pure tin. I look on line and got a BHN but my Lee shows it to be in the 16 area and I read it has a BHN of 51. I melted some in to a strip and bent it back and forth. I did hear the "tin cry" the first bend but not in the next few bends till it broke. I then melted and filled a small mold with this tin (i hope). I also did the same with known pure lead. The lead was 8 oz. and this tin was only 2.5 oz. From what i have read bismuth looks a lot like tin but is much heaver and harder. So i have ruled out bismuth. Can anybody tell me of another way to tell if it is tin? I don't own a thermometer to see when it melts.
