Default Nice little find at the scrapper today...

Took the bottles & cans down to the recycyler and as usual went & had a look in the lead bin.

Schweet... 90# of lead and a 5# ingot marked "Bell System E Wiping Solder."

A quick search turned up that it's 60/40 tin/lead (approx). Not bad at $.50/lb.
