Old beat up pewter plates etc..yard sales... rolls of solder..old and new. I purchased a bunch of 60/40 tin/lead solder at a farm auction last year and I got(stole at 60 cents a pound) a 40 lb bar of tin at the same farm auction..everybody thought it was aluminum. Don't like to let too many secrets out of the bag. At the same auction I got 800(approx) lbs of soft lead pipe for approx 3 cents a pound. Mixed it with wheelweights to make some very good shot with the Littleton shotmaker I have. It's worth making shot nowdays. I have 3 ton of shot so think I will ebay the shotmaker
