Default Where do old pistons go to die?

I had a piston from a Ford 4000 and some LED's laying around the shop so I used them to make this really cool accent light for my man cave. Problem is I want to make a couple more but can't find any junk pistons. Where do they all go? Don't tell me Ebay because the used pistons they sell on ebay are made out of gold and they know it.

Probably to the recycler, they are aluminum after all.

go to your wrecking yard or better yet try go Kart places. I see them laying around all the time. Of course your local wrecking yard but that woud be a pain. never hurt to call them though. When I smoked I used them as ashtrays.
