Thing is, you don't want lead to be in contact with skin, etc. Even on
dangly earrings it could be dangerous. Look at brass weights, etc. instead.

Hmm. So far I'm trying to figure out how to weight disc, or other flat
shapes, but I like the idea of lead. I'm not about to go out and buy a
whole box of ammo though and I don't know anybody who has a shotgun or
a BB gun.

I'll be there's some kind of lead solder that comes in sheet form though.
Does anybody know about this? Maybe I can ask at a plumbing supply store
or something. I was going to try and find flat brass discs, etc., but
lead would require smaller pieces and could be cut more easily. Thanks
for the tip!

Try a fishing supply shop for lead & non lead fishing weights.... maybe...
