lead

Please help to identify this bullet. It’s Lead. It has 4 rings. Pictures to follow

Found this at a site that has had a wide variety of stuff. From new change to 1939 dime, 1944 quarter, 1930 quarter dollar to a king George 17xx. I don’t know if this is anything old. It’s interesting to me. It’s seems to be made of a heavy soft material possibly lead? It’s as large as a newer...

I went to a public beach near a Coast Guard station 10 minutes down the road to metal detect there with my Garrett Ace 250 again... I found 7 different lead fishing weights/sinkers, a modern quarter and a 1959 memorial penny, some trash, and the stuff pictured below My dad believes these are...

I live in Saint Joseph Missouri. My wife came across a lead bar stamped National Lead Co, while doing some cleaning on a foreclosure we bought. It looks old. Other than the obvious, I can't find any info about it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, this is my first post. Recently bought a Garrett AT Pro to do some relic hunting. My first find was this strange piece. It's very heavy, probably lead and looks pretty old. I found it in the US Virgin Islands next to the ruins of an old stone wall. I was thinking it might be...

I recently picked up this stock certificate from the Homestake Mining Company that was issued on February 9, 1880. It had been signed by J.K. Goodrich and J.B. Haggin. Haggin of course was one of the three mining magnates who founded the Homestake Mining Company with George Hearst and Lloyd...

Hi everyone, here are today's findings. Some of the things are bizarre - the lead/pewter pieces have weird indentations or designs on them. Lots of pottery shards. The item John is most interested in learning about is the bronze cap-looking thing. It was dug at 18" deep and registered around 85...

Hello! Our first post here. This was dug up via metal detector on a 1683 property in Massachusetts. At various points over the centuries, the property was used as a tavern/boarding house, complete with blacksmith, farrier, 60-stall barn, etc. There was also a schoolhouse on the property at one...

I was taking the hoe to my little garden and found what appears to be Galena I think. It's a bit shinier and lighter weight than specimens I have handled before. Could that be to more silver content? The largest piece weighs 6.6oz the next smallest 1.6oz and the smallest .5oz. The shotgun shell...

Hey guys I am new to this site, this is actually my first post. I was detecting around southern Massachusetts in the woods when I came across this little bullet, would anyone be able to tell me what it is or maybe how old it is?? Thank you!

I hunted an old park today then went to a friends house in the neighborhood near the park. I'm still hunting with a BH beginner detector so the trash was making me work today. I will for sure go back, maybe tomorrow! Here are my finds. ID anything if you can! Thanks y'all! Small Bullet not...

So I was at a park that is decently old. Not sure exactly how old. Here are three different bullets the smaller one is modern I'm sure but what is it? Also two lead bullets. One looks like an enfield. Let me know y'all. Thanks! Here is the small cal. Here is the mangled lead. Here is...

I have been detecting in an 80 acre row-crop field for the last month or so when the weather has allowed. After about 8 or 9 trips, I've found 50 or so round balls, around 30 Enfields (most dropped but chewed up pretty good by disks over the years), and hundreds of melted pieces of lead ranging...

So, new to the forum as far as posting. Curious if anyone has an idea on this. Found these figures (6-8 inches tall or so) and other related pieces in a tight area at low tide on a beach in San Diego over the weekend. Mostly under sand but no deeper than a few inches. They seems to be lead...

I have a standing Liberty quarter that appears to be lead. It's dated 1929 and weighs 7 grams. It's a dull gray color and makes a thunk sound when dropped on a wood table. My aunt bought it from her son who then gave it to me with several authentic standing liberty quarters and barber coins...

Found this about 6" down not far from Balls Bluff area on private property. Not sure but it looks like some kind of tobacco pipe, but possibly made of some kind of lead or metal? Not sure. Any help would be MUCH appreciated. -G

Picture is of a rock i found near my house. I found some pictures of lead/silver mine claims on Ebay and alot of the rocks in the woods near by looked simmilar. Then i found rumors of lost mines in Missouri, then i found sink holes in woods and i hear of people finding old Roman coins here...

Hi all, Found this (what looks to be a lead weight) the other day, forget where I found it as I was in a few different fields and I found a gold half sovereign, so I was all excited about that and didn't bother with the other finds. It is solid lead and has stripes going all the way around it...

I went out detecting near a local river after work for a little over an hour and found a lot of trash but I brought a few pieces home that I thought were more interesting. I told my wife that the Colgate tubes looked to be from the late 60's or 70's, I looked them up and was right on. The...

Found on the Georgia / S. Carolina line near the Savannah river. No markings on the reverse.
