    Sounds like a good hit
    On the subject of lead :
    Heavy & takes up minimal room for weight
    is a good seller on E-bay
    and you can always sell it.
    if ever there was a Armageddon LEAD will be desirable .



    some info from WIKI
    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]

    -----------------
    Lead might be worth saving for the grand kids .
