Re: Smelting range scrap to make boolits...

Ok Andy, I am headed to the HOT side,LOL. I went to Academy and got my set up including a ladle and a neat fish strainer that I think I can use to get the copper out with.

I went to the club where fortunatley (I think) I am on the Board of Directors. My first bay was mildly succesful, about 15 pounds but took too long. I did piuck it out pretty clean though. Was told of the "mother load" I would find at the rifle range. I waited for two guys to get done shooting and went to check. Not much but did find some 12 gauge slugs. I finally got in to the pistol bay I wanted with the closest burm to the shooting line. YAY!!! :hurry: :thumbs2: In about 5 minutes I used my fish fry strainer and sifted out anouther 25-30 pounds.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with all this stuff. If I had had more time and buckets, I could have picked up 200 pounds. I now know how to mine this stuff. LOL

Tomorrow I will see if I can make lead/bread. LOL
