This morning I decided to melt down a pile of balls that a customer gave me in a plastic bag.
Just emptied the pot so it was still hot and plugged in. Started pouring the balls into the pot and I see a couple of small red balls. Turns out they are air soft pellets.
Got them out. Don't see anymore and start repouring. Look in the pot and what do I see, a live 209 shotgun primer
I try to grab it but it falls to the bottom of the pot. Lead had not started melting yet, so I turn the pot upside-down on the concrete floor. I found 2 live primers.
This could have ended bad, thank God I saw the one go in. And lead was not already hot. I keep picturing one going off in a hot pot of lead.
