I wouldn't use either the lead or the acid either. The acid has lots
of lead in it and the lead has lots of acid in it - and about half the
lead is actually lead oxide anyway.  Muriatic acid (a trade name
for a common grade of sulfuric acid, is about $2.25 a gallon at
any pool store.

Tin???? We been looking for tin!!! Any of it he doesn't want
either I or the group in interested in!  If there is actually enough
to be worth while, I'll be happy to go with him to get it!  It makes
lovely site tokens, among other things.
