    I got a smidgeon of silver, but if our monetary system collapses, I'd say that a beter investment would be a few boxes of lead&brass.



    I'd buy some of those myself if I had not tragically lost all of my guns in a mysterious boating accident years ago.

    That's my story & I'm stickin' to it.

    I have some lead ,But I have some really good quality brass from electrical power authority .Now back to lead on the open market as a reference lead hangs around .85 to 1.00 a LB Ebay 1.25 to 1.75 lb but all said and done my yard pays .40 a pound . finding free I find some lead weights and Bats are not worth dismantling . I see the market as hard to buy for under .40 I have 100 pounds or so of lead ingots given free from a boss i worked for .But correct --- I am thinking brass might be worth the hoard as it seems to offer decent weight for size.

    Oh how awful for you! You were, of course, over the Mariana Trench so there is no hope of recovery, I am assuming...
