These are straight wheel weights (from several years ago) melted down in to ingots. I’d say nice and clean. Any idea on a price per pound? Thanks for any help. Send some to that feller in Hazen and let him mold you some fishin' weights while he's sittin' on the porch doing nothin'.

Most scrap yards won’t take ingots cause they have no idea what you stuffed in the middle

I saw a woman cleaning up wheel weights after dark @ the local tire shop. Must be worth something.

Lots of people casting bullets are Leary of buying ingots because most states require only zinc or steel weights be used on tires. Zinc weights are often mixed with lead wheel weights by the unknowing or unscrupulous smelter , which leaves ingots of unknown alloy. Bullet casters recently prefer to use a know alloy so often buy from a reputable source. Zinc can do damage to rifle/pistol barrels, ruin bullet moulds, and stick in lead pots.
Most ingots are sold for between $1 and $2 a pound but buyers beware is the common theme these days.

Wouldn't a simple mass / density test tell purity? At the prices listed here, how much do you guys want?
