Haole Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 20 years of scuba diving in Hawaii collecting lead fishing sinkers to get them out of the environment leaves me with a lot of lead. I had plans of casting bullets, but never got further than melting all these lead sinkers into 1 pound ingots. Lead sinkers are rumored to be made from pure lead, so that's what I think they are. I need a buck a pound for the lead plus shipping. I can probably get 50 ingots (50 pounds) in a medium flat rate box ($15 shipping), so 50 pounds would be a total of $65. I have about 260 pounds total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for the scuba diving suggestion. I guess that's how you pick them up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Duncan Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 A buck a pound is a very, very good price today. Roto Metals is probably one of the last remaining retailers of pure lead and they are listing 5 pound ingots at $12.99 plus frt., that’s over $2.50 a pound. If I wasn’t long on lead and short on silver, I would probably consider this but alas…… Any cowboys casting their own for percussion revolvers need to jump on this !
