Does anyone know what material Plarail uses for their weights? Is it Iron? Silver? Lead?

I could be wrong but its lead sometimes it could just be metal but I am certain its lead

I am concerned for the TNA’s

Every time I touch the weight. I am touching lead!

could potentially be zinc instead of lead, if japan ban leaded gasoline in 86 theres no way they'd be allowed to use lead weights in childrens toys

A magnet should give you a clue. Grab one then read this https://finemetalworking.com/non-magnetic-metals#9-zinc
I believe you'll find that the regular cylindrical weights are made of steel, and be aware that the commonest kinds of stainless steel (those with nickel in them) are non-magnetic. Depleted uranium is nice and heavy, but a little expensive.

Lead is soft and dull grey, you can scratch it easily, zinc is a bright whitish colour, and is light in weight. Does no-one learn basic chemistry at school any more? Bring back the days when any inquisitive boy could buy the ingredients of gunpowder over the counter at their local pharmacy!
