"Wheel weights have all kinds of impurities in them."

Back when I used to cast I got a bucket of wheel weights at the local tire shop.

I was melting them over an open fire in a cast iron dutch oven and casting them into ingots.

As I was dumping some into the pot, I came across a bunch of bones...

Seems that the one guy had the habit of tossing his chicken legs into the bucket...
