Hi all,
Any ideas on what this old lead disc is? It measures about 1-3/4 inches in diameter and a little over 1/4 inch thick, weight about 4.3 ounces. It is about the size of a large checker but I don't think it's a game piece. I was thinking it was a lead ingot but I don't know.
I dug this a couple of weeks ago on the grounds of an 1800s house in an area that had some limited Civil War activity and I found what appears to be a Sharps bullet nearby but no other relics. Thanks!
