Ok, well thanks to everyone who replied. I guess I have little to worry
about. My house was built in the 70s & has the original plumbing, so it
sounds like it probably has lead solder in the other joints too. I suppose
a little more isn't going to make much of a difference.

I'd just finished installing a in-line water filter when I discovered a
2nd spool of solder mixed in my work area. I know that I had one set that
was lead-free, but don't know about the 2nd. Now I am unsure which I used
on my pipes, the lead-free or the unknown. Unfortunately neither were
labeled. I only soldered 2 joints in the pipe, would it be worth the
effort to undo my work just to redo it with known lead-free solder? I
don't know the danger level of potentially having solder with lead in my
incoming water lines.

I tried looking up if there was any way to differentiate between lead-free
solder & solder with lead, but couldn't find anything.
