So I know this is a wine/bottle stopper but can't seem to figure out how old it is. It is two parts with the bell being one part and the stem being another that screw in together with threads. It is very heavy so I am guessing probably lead as the metal.
Ordinarily just by looking at it I wouldn't think of this as that old but when found it was still in the
broken neck of the bottle and the bottle glass appeared to be older and thicker glass. Also found under a very large mature oak tree in a park that before it was a park definitely had human activity dating back 150 years.
I'm trying to figure out how old this might be to figure out if that area of the park is worthwhile to do further detecting. The park is extremely large so trying to focus on the most productive areas on it.
Thank you for looking.
