Option B: Again at the metal recyclers, look for big, chunky Iron offcuts, big nuts, washers and bolts that will fit into one of the Metal mixing bowls from the $2 shop. Buy about 7kg of that if it is cheaper than lead, take it home and arrange in mixing bowl. pour in enough "wet" concrete to cover as much of the metal as possible, aiming to avoid bits protruding out the top apart from 1 bolt (eye type) or bit of sturdy wire bent to form a loop. when it is set, turn it out and give any bits of steel showing a coat of concrete slurry to seal it up and your done.
Too easy. should end up about 12-15kg.
