    We have lead trim on our corrigated iron roofs.
    Its easy to get off, most places (roof fixers) don't bother tearing the lead strip off & I find it where I find old roofing iron.
    Lead headed nails, we have a set price per Kg for that here too.



    The roofers always seem to like it when I do strip it off.
    Like they will put the lead edges iron off aside for me to work on, then I put the left over iron onto their pile.

    I had ideas of making scuba diving weights but never got around to doing it.
