    Cashed In On 13 LBS Of Lead

    It sure isn't worth much. I calculated to $0.76 a pound.

    Cashed In On 13 LBS Of Lead

    Now if only it could be gold. I have saved my lead for many many years, and am tired of looking at those containers. I got 10 dollars for 13 lbs. (I saved my minnies and musket balls). It sure doesn't amount to much, but hey, lead is toxic and I managed to keep some of it out of the ground...

    Dug up some more newer coins to go towards my 2026 annual nugget purchase. I spent most of the afternoon detecting with my Garrett Vortex detector in the North Saskatchewan River valley.
