Default RE: Lead paint in ARFs?

I hope to soon get federal funding as a superfund site. I have about 40 lbs of lead in ingot form, two 5 gallon pails full of crushed scrap lead pipe and a few rolls of sheet lead - maybe 300 lbs all told. I cast my own round balls for muzzleloaders.

I also have the requisite mercury and a bottle of Rexall DDT (from when you could buy it at the drug store!) Saving that for in case I bulid a 1/4 scale Piper Pawnee crop duster. ;-)

And then there's the radium dial wind-up alarm clocks and the tritium on the old hand bearing compass I have. Oh, and a silver dime that was irradiated with gamma rays at the 1964 Worlds Fair and is still in the little plastic case. And probably a few mercury amalgum fillings from my earlier years are still in place.

I'm just waiting for them to recall all Washington quarters because they are a choking hazard for toddlers.
