Roofers gotta love'em

I like them, they are about the cleanest and most pure lead that's out there, I've have melted down some of the recent haul and so far I have 32 ingots for 36 lbs. with about 20 to go. I also double checked my stash and so far I have 182 ingots for 206 lbs. not to bad.

Roofing lead is all I have shot for over 30 years. My stockpile of roofing lead is shout 300 lbs. Did I mention I was a roofer for 35 years. Also the shop I worked at for the last 25 years saves the lead for me. All for free LOL they owe me for putting up with them for all those years.

:grin: my boss has a roofer buddy, brings me 50-60lbs once a month in the summer-fall out of Cleveland area great stuff. :thumbsup: :v

Well, I just melted down the last of those roof jacks, out of around 62 lbs. (buckets included), I got 54 lbs. of clean lead in 48 ingots, not too shabby in my book.

Spiffy!
That should keep you shooting for awhile.

I reclaimed about 80 pounds of .22 bullets from the traps from our indoor .22 league this winter. Lots of slag in there, and I think .22 bullets are alloyed. It seemed harder than pure lead RB's anyway. I just turned them in to scuba weights, where alloy content doesn't matter.

Well, I called a bunch of metal recyclers today and hit the Jackpot, this guy has a few hundred pounds of sheet lead from a whole X-Ray room. I bought 90 Lbs. today and will get the rest later this week, he charges .70 cents a Lb. which isn't too bad when your looking for quantity. I just need to buy some heavier shears to cut it up with.

Don't forget shower floor pans, used in old showers. Check with your local plumbers. Happy trails.

Fair price and the shears will last a long time.

I finally got the last of it in the first week of the Month. I got a total of 338Lbs. in clean lead from him. My hoard now is around 540Lbs.

Outstanding, I get mine from my son he works for a plumber, not any where close to what you have but it's free.
