lead lead on where art thou lead?

[Seawolf1090]

Plenty of lead ingots and scuba weights on ebay. Prices are going up though.
I just recently lucked out. My Father passed away last month, and I am helping Mom go through his old things, and the man was a packrat on his property for fifty years. I knew he'd used lead to make boat anchors. Found his lead mould for sein net weights too - will be good for smallish ingots. Finally found his stash of lead - two coffee cans full of net weights! Jackpot!
I had gotten all I needed to begin casting boolits except the lead. He has a bunch of old batteries too - I know to NOT use the plates within them, but the posts look like good lead. Gotta see about sawing them off.
I also had thought of lead flashing. Have a work friend who is supposed to be getting some cutoffs from flashing he used awhile back.

Now, I need tin and linotype! I've seen it on ebay, but would prefer a local source.
