The hole goes all the way through and are different sizes. Its heavy for its size. Found some 3 ringers and a union button at the same location. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Any rivers near by? Maybe a sinker

Thanks but it is too heavy to be a sinker.

you talked like you had more than one, and they were different weights might be from the bottom of a seine. used corks to keep the top floating, and weights to keep the bottom down............. my dad always caught his own bait! was on the deep end of a seine many times!

maybe a net weight
