Scored lead sheets to my amazement. I've never dealt with lead. 50- 60 lbs worth. Other than the obvious pre- cautions, like not licking or chewing on it, wearing gloves are there any? And what kind of price does it generally fetch? Thanks.

Dont leave it uncovered in the rain.
most likely could be sold to a fisherman/hunter that casts sinkers/bullets for a little more than scrap price.
Last price I got was a couple months ago - 0.29/lb.
Thanks guys. Good advice Dune I will heed that. I was going to leave in the box of the truck onto a garage shelf it will go. Def one if the mire interesting picks I've had. Car jacks, car buffer, pressure washer(ironically mine broke over the weekend), lead sheets, torch valves, transmission adaptor, isolation transmitter, fence post thumpers, misc tools.
Don't get it wet, Don't Feed it after midnight, and don't forget the extra Plutonium BEFORE heading to 1955.....Just saying!
Why keep it dry? In the UK lead is very commonly used in gullies on roofs and also as flashing to keep the rain out of buildings. It gets wet all the time - it simply goes a slightly duller shade of grey.
Wayne...correction: It WAS commonly used on roofs. Thievery has gotten so bad that some churches are changing the material that has been used for centuries on their roofs. Check this article: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar...theft-20120327
No really, it still is very common on all but new build houses. I don't know of any churches in my city that have changed their roofing material, and there are about 30 medieval churches within 2-3 miles of me. We also have several buildings with sheet copper roofs.
The amount of metal theft in the UK is the reason why we now have a law being passed where no scrap metal can be paid for by cash. All yards must pay by cheque or electronically. Which of course makes it easier and easier for the tax man to do their thing...
Sold it off @ .40 lb. 56lbs
Yes Wayne is right, I have a roof leak on a property that needs to be re-leaded. Problem is that people trained up to tackle roofs now, are not taught to work lead so it means there's less people out there who can do it. Gradually as time goes by there will be even fewer. Means it's going to cost me an arm and a leg to get it done no doubt.
Hmmm Harrisvh...am I sensing a need for a side business?
