lead weights
I was reading in 'Projects' about the Mars Snooper and using lead weight. They can be bought but I make my own. Cheap and easy.
Your local hardware,Lowes,Home Depot will have a flat washer with either a 1/2, 5/8, or 3/4 size hole, clamp the washer down on a thick piece of steel plate. Get some wheel weights and use a propane torch to 'melt' the wheel weight into the washer. Let it cool then drill a hole for the screw eye. Get the used wheel weights at any tire center, usually for free.
