scrap yards or a tire place you can get the old wheel weights
Do it yourself sinkers
Hello everyone/anyone,
I am interested in making my own sinkers (2 - 10 oz)- cannonball and bank. I can find melting pots and molds. It's the material I can not find. Any suggestions of what to use and where to get it?
I would also be interested in discussing everything on this topic

Very dirty lead, takes lots of time to skim it pure enough to cast, plus you have to get the steel clips out of it.
i use to used wheel weights melt them crap floats to the top and you skim it off and i would put a wire hook thru hole in wheel weight dip it in pot and steel hook comes right out of the weight
