Picked Up A Few Sinkers Today.

[Pete-K]

Yes picked up a few nice sinkers today Here's a pic of three of them and still have to go back and get 5 more of them.

These three weighs in at 9900 lbs.. Thinking they should keep me in sinkers and jigs for a few months.

Your gonna be busy for awhile pouring

Wow! If my math is correct (?) that will make 316,800 1/2 oz. jigs. Enough to last a couple of seasons, at least!

Good lord

Got the rest home, 26,500 lbs total.

Now to get the metal cut off all of it and start pouring.   The way I keep having all my jigs and sinkers fall off the line below pickwick. This should last me oooh 5 years or more.

Wowser. What was the original use of those. I`m thinking counterweight for a large crane.

Sometime round here they scrap sail boats and the keel produces some sizable lead chunks, but nothing close to your find.

FYI,a circular saw with carbide tip blades will cut lead very well. Not the answer for those monsters, but maybe for smaller pieces to go into the pot.

Yes These were off an indoor crane. And  using a Skill-saw with metal cutting blade to rip them up. 2" thick and metal around them is less then 1/16th in thick.

May have found 75.000 more pounds. Should keep me in Split shot for a few fishing trips..
