Argghhh. See how the voices in my head make me screw up. LOL

Ok. The cooled molten metal is likely aluminum based upon the color. I cast lead bullets at a 20:1 ratio, and the metal in the picture doesn't look like lead. This is especially true considering the impurities that would be present if it was lead from a battery comingled with other elements. Plus there is no sign of frosting such as would have occurred with the ground/pavement being a different temp.

Make sense now? Lord, I hope so.
