Test for lead. Apparently it’s common to use these for melting lead for DIY bullets.
Is there a good way to test for lead easily?
Instant test strips from home improvement stores. E.g. https://www.homedepot.com/p/PRO-LAB-Lead-Surface-Test-Kit-LS104/100117326

What’s your plan/strategy?
Really like the idea of a cast iron pot. I can imagine frying onions in this and them coming out magically.
Let us know the results!
