Dug up a weird iron relic the other day. It appears to be crotal bell size, but it's iron and flat on the bottom. Could it be some sort of scale weight? It weighs around one ounce.
I found it at a spot that's been giving up a lot of 1700's flat buttons, so it could be a really old relic. Any guesses on this one would be appreciated.
Here's a few pics, but it's really toasted. I soaked it in vinegar for two days, but didn't make much progress removing the rust.
