What's wrong here, no one knowing anything about these leads?

The experts in Holland (where it was found) said this about it.

- An extraordinary lead seal, the dimensions and shape correspond to an English lead seal.
The numbers undoubtedly indicate sizes. The dash behind the figures are likely additions t
o the size of 6 \ three quarters and 25 \ half and R: Beazer could be the creators or product name.
- This is in fact a lead seal has been applied by a so-called "Searcher".

On one side of this type of lead is usually the survey of 'Searcher' (length, width and the like)
and on the other side the brand name is shown. For the Netherlands, a less common find.
