A couple lead items and a clay pipe

North Shore · Nov 12, 2018

Any idea on what the lead item is? It looks deliberately cut, and drilled out. There are teeth marks on it I believe, a pair of primitive pliers? Any ideas on the age of it?

A fired musket ball and a pipe stem/bowl otherwise. No coins in the farm field for me this weekend.

Nice relics! Not sure what that lead piece could be, lead was used for so many things... Congrats!

1st thing I thought of was a no-roll fishing weight. Lead use was so common a while back, I think it was just "played with". Kinda like mercury :lol:

Nice hunting NS! That clay pipe is really cool, Congrats!
Just a shot in the dark on the lead piece but could it be a battery terminal from a tractor?
