I need to get some 1/2" and 5/8" steel balls. They don't have to be
super high quality, but I do want them to be relatively inexpensive.
I need to get 50-100 of them.

It is for a game that uses them, not exactly home improvement. Well,

Wouldn't it be easier to wear a cup? :-)

This place has plain steel or stainless, and many other materials too:

Remember, it takes leather balls to play rugby.

If you don't get a source here, try on rec crafts
metalworking (also a usenet group). Some very fine people
there, who may help out. They would also maybe have some
steel balls among them. Hope you have a lot of fun, playing
with your 50 to 100 balls.

While I'm close to the subject. The old song "do your ears
hang low, do they wobble to and fro" was originally colonial
military song. It wasn't ears, it was musket balls.

Yes, thanks. I did a google search, and I kept getting 50 click
throughs and not finding what I needed. Why didn't I think of Amazon?

Interesting piece of history, by the way...

You can get about 1,000 half-inch [glass] marbles for $25 he

You can scatter about 500 in an evil-doers yard so that anyone standing near
as he cuts his grass will be killed.

perhaps search for pachinko balls new or used on ebay and amazon.

Pachinko balls aren't anywhere near that large.

No they aren't. I think I sold all my real pachinko balls (with
Japanese symbols on them), but I still have a stash of ball bearings the
same size.

You have no idea how much I resisted posting the same
sort of thing. Don't forget my Limey friends The SAS.
My parents, brother and great uncle were US Army.
Skinny brother was Green Beret. They weren't commandos.

After I pressed "send" I realized that all these fine folks have more than
1/2" - 5/8" "anatomical features" and I'm grateful that no-one sent "buddy"
here to straighten me out .
