[QUOTE="Dreamwalking, post: 189364, member: 3389"] Me too, commonly some of the unusual shapes created by molten lead is a bullet that was fired into a tree... later down the track when a bushfire ravages the tree stump it is it lodged in, the height to the ground that the molten lead may fall can cause some wonderful looking shapes. One of the simplest test to identify a piece of lead you pick up is the old fingernail scrape test ... lead can be easily scratched with a fingernail and if you then see a shinny silver surface ... you know what you have found ... PS .. if you chew your nails you might consider using a pocket knife or something that has a bit of a edge on it. [/QUOTE]
