Old cellar hole

[fonzy182]

Found a bunch of nails and this. Was found 25 yards from the cellar. No clue what it is. Quite heavy for its size.

Thanks!! I was guessing that to my buddy.

Pulled so many nails today it was nice to see a nice 70-75 reading with my at-pro.

Not so sure about that. Most slugs I've seen look like round balls. This thing is at least 2 pieces too.

I think that "Brenke" slugs were two piece.

HI BOB!

Is it lead?

 

[fonzy182]

It read between 70 to 75. Quite heavy for its size. I have no clue what type of metal but seeing its weight I'm guessing lead.

Here are some different slugs. Doesn't look like one to me.

But then again, it looks like it's been in the ground awhile, it could be an older version. I do see grooves in it, like the one's in the pictures, and it's lead, could be a slug

Just get a real good measurements and a weight and you'll know if it's a slug or not, personally I don't think it is. jmho
