Lead anchor pendant

[BelowtheSurface]

I found this lead anchor with my Nox 900, I was doing the mudflats around an early 1600’s colony/fort area. I’ve found many musket balls that come out of the flats clean looking without the usual white patina from oxidation, so I’m trying to identify the age.

Neat find, I would think if it's made of lead, it's going to be old. Good luck on your research.

It's beauiful! I hope it's lead, if it's pewter it can start flaking apart.

Yea I would probably have to have a sample of the lead tested for where the lead was sourced to get an idea of the date. Not sure if that’s possible, maybe a college or lab does that kind of thing
