Pure lead for that price? Congratulations. Do you have the molds for your black powder guns?
Yes I do. I have .32 cal rifle ball mold, .31 cal brass mold for conical and ball, .36 cal rifle ball, .36 cal ball and conical mold in brass. I also plan to use it for swaging bullets too. :D

They look like wheel weights! Make sure they are pure lead.
They are definitely pure lead. I was told they are cable sheath? I can bend it easily with no effort. But I’ll test it for the softness since I got a lead hardness testing kit.
 
Thats a nice score! I thought they were wheel weights too. I have some cable sheathing and XFR test show it to be around 98.5% pb with a small % of other stuff. Thats soft enough to use in a muzzle loader or anyplace else that soft lead is used.
 
If I can put a good dent in it by running my thumbnail across it then it is most likely pure lead. WW lead you can clean the tarnish off the surface but no scratch. That is my "rule of thumb". Ha Ha got you there.:D Good enough for scrap yard testing when buying lead.
