Where do I find Scrap Lead? - Page 2

Babbit Works Like Lead too , You can find it from farmers exc..

But We all like lead for Scrap , i am not Young anymore , but i know of a place that you can chop it out of the rock with a axe , but its on georgian bay in northern ontario , and you also need a boat and someone that knows the waterway as well as where it is.

To late this time of year for me to go back and the wind is to stormy this time of year to chance it again.

If you need a small amount, dentists have to separate the lead foils from x-rays and save them for special disposal. It's not a lot but it is pure lead and I would imagine they would be more than happy to give it to you for free.

well if you need lead i need zinc will trade my lead for your zinc

The hospitals and other X-ray places use lead lined drywall.

I've worked with it before,
it is weird stuff, a drywall sheet with lead sheet glued to it, and heavy as hell.

That would have to come from a demo job I guess.

Check with the shooting range about buying spent bullets maybe(?)
(You could shoot those FMJ .45's that lay all over the range from a smooth-bore (like tyou mentioned, and it would have rifling grooves OR look like fired from several different pistols...)


Other than that ,
for bullets, why not just use a frozen POOP Dart?
What you do is make a mold (large bore, pointy at front /w/hollow tail),
stuff it with pooop and freeze it,
Then keep it in dry-ice until you shoot somebody with it.

That would really suck to be shot and die with a big frozen turd sticking out of the chest I imagine.
The thing that sucks is poop is DNA traceable, (I think ?) so you'd have to use somebody elses'...

It should be powered by atleast a 12 gauge would be BAD @SSS KILLER POOP DART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow dude, now THAT sounds like some kind of super cool adventure trip! Maybe it's something for a few of us to try and hook up for 2013! Seriously, axe'n out your own raw lead, right from the bush and rocks where it grew? I'd Love to spend a week there with you and a couple of others who'd dig this back to the land/pioneer way of living, wrestling money from the ground and on Georgian Bay to boot. We'd have to pack fish'n rods and tackle too of course. lb

hi i am looking for lead and was wondering if you still have some to sell please reply

I go to place where people shoot into a bank when I go shooting. On a whim, I took my 2'X4' gold classifing screen (it's a wooden frame with 1/2" mesh stapled to the bottom) and a shovel and scooped up the sandy soil where the bullets impact. In six scoops I had about 20 lbs. of spent bullets. I figure if I stay there for a while, I could quickly get half a ton or so. Be sure to wear a mask if you do this, don't want to breath in any lead dust from the ground.

The first place I'd look is at roof flashings & lead head nails.
Its a hardish job by hand but the correct sort of tinsnips would work wonders.

A few days ago I was walking past the rear of a shop & noticed some lead head nails on the ground.
So I looked up & yeah, the roof has just been 'redone', brand new roofing

I've been looking all over my area for scrap lead. Haven't found anywhere willing to sell it yet. They all say they're not allowed to, or don't get any.

If anyone has any they'd be willing to sell, please PM me.

Oh, I didn't realize that. So many forums, all with different rules.

I've stopped by a few tire places, went to recycling centers, called up nuclear pharmacies, etc. All busts... So, that sounds awesome! I have an ingot mold, so whatever you want to part with is cool with me. I'm just looking to avoid ordering 10# ingots for $20 off the net.

Hello. We collect soft lead from Nortel, Avaya, etc. handsets from office phones. Many use lead for weight inside the handset. Usually around 4oz bars in each one. Would work good for smelting. Thanks

Most of the phones I get now have steel weights but I do come across lead weights in some older phones. Down here in Florida fishing is the thing to do and I used to get alot of lead from old fishing nets.

Talk to your local electric company. See if they thow away the hard lead coated wire that stuff is heavy. I have also found lead on the ouside of old light fixtures with the stain glass windows in a circle. Stainless steal door weights usually also have soft lead in them. battery cable ends also.
