Hello everyone,
I am new to metal detecting and have only been 2 times. I found this object and thought it was a divers weight. Unfortunately Diver weights were not as thick and were never made of anything except Lead. Searching for a few days, I am unable to find anything that indicates it is. Currious, we lightly knock of some of the oxidizing on the bottom to see if we can find anything. In the photo #1 where I am holding it, It looks like some figures there in the right top corner, Also looks like some MARK, on the left corner.
In Photo#2 it looks like, a 99's with a 1, can you see these numbers written in photo 1. Can you see numbers decayed but somewhat legible? It weighs 5 pounds, It is to heavy for lead, It is 3 6/8" x 3 6/8" on the base(the base is wider than the top, the top is a bit smaller 3" x 3"; it is 3 1/2" tall, with 1/4 inch slats. It is 1 7/8" thick. My metal detector is a Gold Century, it registers 50cent silver range. The object was found buried, I have taken to some local places and have not had any luck finding out what it is or having any tests on it. Only my second find, on my second day of metal detecting, So....I have really enjoyed hunting and plan to continue. Thanks Treasure Net for having me and I am looking forward to learning so much from my new friends. Thanks, huntergirl
