Tungsten would make them worth something. And the result would not be as heavy as lead, or indeed, full tungsten glandes, surely?

Reply #2 - Nov 15^th, 2004 at 6:17pm That is an idea if you may get tungsten powder. But most probably the glandes would crush hiting a hard ground, hence you wouldn't have a chanse to recover expensive tugnsten. Jurek

Reply #4 - Nov 15^th, 2004 at 9:45pm What are you trying to do with the concrete? Are you trying to make it to where you can retreve it later? I have seen that professional concrete people put rebarb into the concrete. Maybe you could use cheap metal flakes into the batch to make the concrete more returnable?

In my bus. I do a lot of grinding I have a lot of steel "iron" filings." I some times mix them with epoxy
making my own JB weld so to speak.
I might try some with concrete. It would definitely add weight if not hardness. Not to mention color as I am sure they would rust. Well ill add that to my list when i get free project time again
