    What I see now with reclaiming lead or lead type is it's very up close personal work ,
    your gonna pour off the melt so your gonna breath in some thing,
    I bet boards will deliver a lead type but your also gonna deal with many pounds of chard board that will kill you in time .

    But I am rethinking battery's here is why
    First I find Bats free
    Well cleaned lead is worth $ 1.70 lb to people & they will pay
    forget about the yard only paying .40 cents LB
    I feel lead will increase in value over the years
    So do you want to hoard Bats ? not really for me

    Recently I had about 6 of those small Lead Acid Bats used for safety lamps
    I figured lets give it a try once more .
    Bottom line I got 1 pound of clean lead from 6 little Bats
    so yes it's worth not much at the .40 at the yard and $1.70 to gun people which is not really a real gain BUT it's free except for my time
    So it's a good investment
    ,I feel lead will have more value in the years to come, so if I can
    build a lead stash thats a winner.
    For sure Bats can deliver great lead but you get a lot of char
    If you believe Wickapidia lead will run out in the years to come,
    so recycling of lead is very important now and that is not gonna change.



    AL is findable as is CU
    But Lead is hard to find and when you find it you gotta work it ,
    thats sign of truth
