The metal is smooth, but not shiny. It is super bendable. As soon as I realized what it was, I stopped handling it and washed my hands.
Lead is heavy, but seems such an odd choice for a weight in a consumer device. It must have been cheaper or even free.

I don't think lead is clay like. I could be wrong, the only lead I have touch was fishing weights.
Per the Wiki, lead is a very soft metal.
I’ve used lead quite a bit for various things. It’s “soft” for a metal, but it is nothing like clay and is not “squishy”. It is relatively easily bent and will take a rubber hammer to easily form to shapes. I really can’t think of a material one would encounter in daily use that is comparable to the malleability of lead. So “very soft”, yes, but it is metal.
I don’t know what I was thinking describing it as malleable. It is super bendable, but that’s it. I fixed the post now 😅 lol
I've never heard it compared to clay but yeah it does make sense. Lead flashing is probably a little bit thicker than what you have and it's very pliable, it can easily be shaped with just one finger, I can definitely see how it could be called squishy.
