I`d be leery of mentioning mercury, especially mercury and boiling on a public forum. The EPA gets wind and they declare your place a toxic pit, condem it, and charge ya for clean up.
We had a young kid here a couple years ago that took mercury home he found somewhere. The state condemed the house until haz mat cleanup was done, when the school authorites found out.
