[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 358985, member: 2152"] Dry blower? I reckon that would have the lead sorted, maybe a screen on angle under the exit point to seperate brass (on top) and gravel back on the ground. In my mind lead or gold would behave in a very similar manner in a dry blower. I just read your last part about melting brass. I have done this back in my scrap metal days, if you can seperate to type you will end up with mostly 'honey' brass. I sold mine to a direct exporter by 100kg lots. It was an extremely profitable exercise, I was even paid by some ranges to take it away, getting paid both ways. Almost all scrap yards Wil not accept shells even discharged at the risk of a live unit accidentally entering the waste stream, hence a basically never ending supply of free metal. What method do you intend to melt with? I would be interested in what you are doing if it's successful and you are willing to share. [/QUOTE]
