>>20684105>My town used silver/lead for solder, so that's worth a bit of money when I find it,Sounds intriguing, can you elaborate? What were the rough proportions (if you're aware), was it made locally using cheap dore smelted from the endless argentiferous galena and whatnot there?
>That was a pretty tiny source even if it would be considered huge todayAgreed, and your point touches upon an aspect of the cucked modern world that kinda bothers me. Basically everyone is brainwashed from early childhood onward to be deathly afraid of lead, or CFCs, or DDT, or the wondrous mineral Asbestos. Thanks to sophisticated propaganda campaigns multiple generations now have passed down to their children irrational and ignorant phobias without also educating anyone about safe handling and the many applications where they are still the absolute best materials known to man. Felt comfy feels when I rediscovered this NOS box of asbestos wicking while going through some stuff in storage, got some old DDT on hand for a rainy day too.
>>20683928Cool projection bro. I've just been given the best professional opportunity of my life on a solid silver platter tho so I'm beyond ecstatic. It's so perfectly suited for my rare suite of skills and the timing and location is so ridiculously ideal that it still feels like I'm dreaming.
