    learned 4 yrs late

    For 3 1/2 to 4 yrs I had found a short steel component of the electric company They are a steel shaft that has a ceramic bell shaped piece that wires would be twisted on I have found in the last bunch of years I bet 300 of them if not more .
    All I ever did was toss em as short , till last week the yard guy rejects them as short . I go ho-there thats short if ever their was short
    He says to me yes but look at the threaded part THATS LEAD !! LEAD ??
    I said to my self lead !!!! man lead darn !! DARN IT !!!
    I said to the yard guy THANK YOU
    He must of saw my brain percolating and he says just don't breath in the fumes
    I melted 6 ends to day it turned in to 2 pounds of lead



    I figure I lost out on 100 lbs of lead at least
