You had to bring up "smelting day"
Got the itch to go scrounging. Scored 6 five gallon buckets this past weekend. Rough sampling looks to be about 10% zinc with a few iron. That's a lot of zinc! I always just slow and low heat to about 660 degrees using thermometer and skim zinc ww away with the clips. With so many zinc I may presort somewhat.
