Found in some fill dirt... a greedy vulture site I'm calling it.. (a whole nother topic for a rainy day...)

I heard of good stuff being found with lots of bickering over whose dirt is whose...anyway this was my find for the few hours I looked..cool trade & navigation token 1838... and I love marbles (eyeball bonus)...this lead thing is weird....any ideas?

Bump -

Give duffytrash a PM and ask him about htis marble... It looks great and he should be able to give you some information about it. Nice buckle too... :)

Hem weights... those things were sewn into everything...

Much like Chickman - They're everywhere! They're everywhere!
