Kapidr Sr. Member Mar 17, 2014 353 355 By the sea 🏆 Honorable Mentions: 1 Primary Interest: Beach & Shallow Water Hunting Jan 12, 2018 #1 I believe this item is made of lead and it was found while metal detecting on the Florida East Coast. Can anyone identify what is on it and what it represents? It weights 2.21 grams. I think I see a building with tall thin trees on each side.

Lead wouldn't keep a stamping very long since it's so soft Upvote 0
