How can one get lead to float? Assume it is in a lump, not made into a boatlike shape, nor carried in a boatlike device.

Maybe if you dissolve enough in a solute, the density of the solution would exceed the density of lead.  Or if you supersaturate it?  I don't know enough on the subject to know what that would do.  But mercury would probably work too.
