Just curious what you guys have been able to score recently.

I don't have anything really good to share, been spending too much. Let me live vicariously (and frugally!) through you!

Can bare cast iron have lead or are we talking enameled? Thanks, and congrats!

I don't imagine it would have lead in it as part of its construction, but it's possible a previous owner used it to melt lead for metal casting or something like that.

Thank you, makes sense

Honestly I'm not really worried it was used for melting lead since its really shallow and clearly had burnt on grease but 10$ for tests will give me peace of mind.
