I remember seeing an article about sourcing lead foil from wine bottles. But what do people use it for , he sheepishly asks ?

Set of seat belts, rifle slings, flags if you so choose... The possibilities are endless...

Any other good (freebie) sources?
Sounds like plenty of uses

Any fabric. I recently used some as the sides of a fly front for a pair of trousers as part of a scratchbuilt scarecrow (for an ACW vignette.) I also use it for canteen or haversack straps, backpack straps, tie downs, cinching belts, etc.

Ask your dentist. They use lead foil as a backing for "bite wing" X-rays. They can't throw it in the trash because it's considered a hazarous material, so there is usually a box of it sitting around awaiting recycling.

I use the metal tubes that SUPER-GLUE come in once it is all used up. Slice off the top, unroll the bottom and slice down one side and instant metal foil.

There are great freebies everywhere you look! Are you just looking for lead foil info or the whole gamut of freebies??

Here's a thread on this subject: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/14629&page=1

I use the foil wrapper off glow-sticks. The glow-stick is less than a buck.
