Valentine's Day Lead Sinker
an interesting sinker, was it made this way or just broke in the shape of a heart? Is it possible to tell if it is modern or old? The wire looks to be hand tied, but I don't know for sure.
I am digging in the woods in East Texas (12 Miles of mostly woods) I am in Franklin County Texas on a private ranch. There was one homestead here in the early 1900's. I was told that there may have been a moonshine operation in a specific area here, but after 6 months of detecting, I see no proof of that. I found an area where I believe I have found a second and even a third homestead, but I can only base that on my findings. I only dig hear in the winter months, then I boot out the renters and go back to Wisconsin!
