Sigh. Always test cast iron of unknown history. Any wall mounting tips lol?

I wonder if you tried the electrolysis trick to remove all of the coating and then tested the bare metal if it would still have lead contamination.

If the coating contains lead and you get rid of it, and then the bare metal doesn't, then you could just re-season the pan and it would be fine, right?
