If there is one type of metal i want to hoard it's lead , I have around 200 # but it's pure luck I have it 95# was given to me as ingots from an old boss
I found a 5 # ingot wiping solder yesterday the rest is in the form of raw plumbing and old tolit pipeing I also have about 35# copper wire with a lead case
As i was doing lead research i discovered i had 4 of these Pure Tin Metal Bar Ingots SN Lot of 50 Pounds Lead Free Solder Bars 50lbs | eBay
I always thought it was lead now i think it might be pure tin as my
sticks look the same
-----------------------
I see that Lead is a great seller on E bay . How much would you members offer tire a station fo lead weights I was thinking just offer Spot Zinc price at yard payout and hope for some lead weights
------------------------
I found batteries is not worth trying to get the lead So any tips how to find it free or at 50% under spot value
Ebay might be ok if what I read on Wickipedia is true
Lead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Production and consumption of lead is increasing worldwide. Total annual production is about 8 million tonnes; about half is produced from recycled scrap. The top lead producing countries, as of 2008, are Australia, China, USA, Peru, Canada, Mexico, Sweden, Morocco, South Africa and North Korea.[45] Australia, China and the United States account for more than half of primary production.[46] In 2010, 9.6 million tonnes of lead were produced, of which 4.1 million tonnes came from mining.[47]
At current use rates, the supply of lead is estimated to run out in 42 years.[48] Environmental analyst Lester Brown has suggested lead could run out within 18 years based on an extrapolation of 2% growth per year.[49] This may need to be reviewed to take account of renewed interest in recycling, and rapid progress in fuel cell technology. According to the International Resource Panel's Metal Stocks in Society report, the global per capita stock of lead in use in society is 8 kg. Much of this is in more-developed countries (20–150 kg per capita) rather than less-developed countries (1–4 kg per capita).[50]
