If you have a solution of Lead nitrate, place some zinc, or iron into it and the metals will displace.

Zn(s) + PbNO3(aq) → ZnNO3(aq) + Pb(s)

Any metal that is more reactive than lead, such as tin, nickel, iron, manganese, aluminum, magnesium, sodium, calcium, barium, potassium, lithium. That order is in order from least reactive to most reactive. Note that the more reactive it is the faster and more exothermic (heat produced) the reaction will be. I would personally use aluminum as you can get foil which is thin (large surface area) and much more reactive.
