Cheap source for weight for cars & locos

One of my train buddies works at a stamping plant (or something along those lines). They punch out little oval thingies of steel, which are perfectly smooth. The plant just throws them away, so my friend picked up a bunch of 'em and gave some to me (kept the rest for himself). The little stampings are perfect for weighting cars, as they are the right size, very heavy for their size, and CA to anything real easy. Not to mention free! If you have a steel stamping place in your town, you could probably get some scrap metal from them for free.
