i found this lead cast in a while back and decided to bring it home. it looks like a ballast weight but is marked '85' in the back. im guessing that might be the weight in kg?

in the front, it has the word "BEERALSTONE"

does anyone know what it could be?

will post pictures soon

Hello YourPilot,

Welcome to the wild world of What Is It. Sounds like it is lead from the Bere Alston Mines; Old Beer Mines; Tamar Silver-Lead Mines), Bere Ferrers (Beer Ferris), Tavistock District, Devon, England, UK

I, for one, would like to see a photo if you could, please...
