Anyone a idea why I keep finding these pieces of lead ??

They always have a weird texture and pretty big please help me out here..

I live in the Netherlands and the forrest I'm hunting in has not produced any old stuff.. Some coins from the 60's and other random items but these lead pieces keep coming up..

Can u please tell me more about this jesuit, because the change that the 2 weird lead pieces are part of a bigger treasure here in my small unkniw village.. Seem very unlikely..

Because you're a metal detectorist and can't help yourself? :laughing7:

I had a similar experience...kept finding what appeared to be shrapnel all shapes and sizes but meter indication pure silver/coin...
Flashing from a very old farmhouse that burned/melted. Alum can be deceptively heavy.

this is only a guess,however it did explain similar babbit nuggets I found,every 5 to 10 ft along an old logging path.The babbit wheel race can fail and under a load enough heat is generated to melt it and drip deposits along the path.probably not for a long ways as it would be noticed and repaired.in 1890 a fire was started here in just this way it is said.

They could have melted and poured their own babbitt bearings in the field.
