Unidentified Lead Pieces

[Vldetecting]

I found these two lead objects while MD'ing yesterday at a farm. The largest object weighs just over a hundred grams and has some strange textured marks along with a hole in the middle of the object. The left object is rather small and weighs only four grams. It was found around 30 cm deep so it could have some age. If you recognize any of these objects please let me know! Thank you

There's a 50 cent coin in the middle of size comparison:

Your larger object looks like an OX nob.
The other I'm not sure of.

The larger piece looks like it could be a spindle whorl. Used in medieval times to make cloth.
The smaller piece could be a small weight but i honestly do not know.

The small piece looks like a buckshot fishing weight

Looks like rope knot marks?

I also agree - spindle whorl.

The smaller piece does not look like lead to me. Maybe a copper alloy? I think it is the head from a screw.

Most likely a Medieval Spindal Whorl, but could be a weight for another unknown function.
