✅ SOLVED Fishing weight or just melted lead runoff?

[WHADIFIND]

Just curious. This little piece of lead came out with the patina of age. Almost purely white.
The shape seemed strange and the little hole in it, (which goes all the way thru), might be a place to tie on.



Thanks!

Yep. Pretty tough one. Also, pretty uninteresting.

It was worth a try.

Thanks!

My guess would be a 150 yr. old fishing weight.

It does look like that don't it. Kind of what I was thinking too.

Guess not much interest in it anyway.

Hi Breezie! Hope you faired the Winter well.
Nice to "see" you again!

Thanks!

That's odd that it has the shape of a pistol grip, isn't it? The hole sure makes it look like a fishing weight, but who knows?

I think it was both a fishing weight and lead run-off.
