    Mine are copper-plated, and right now they are double-bagged.
    So I think they're okay for the near future. But I will keep
    an eye on them. Thanks for the advice.

    When I suggested lead, Jane Houston Jones wrote me in email
    to say that she got complaints from people about the lead
    weights on her Dobson solar scope - it's poisonous. Like
    most things in life, it's a tradeoff.

    Thanks again.
