I think your finds are;
1= a spoon 2= I'm afraid looks to be just a blob of melted aluminium, can etc 3= trade weight, it bears the London Guild marks but I can't make out the initial of the monarch which is probably the mark to the right of the sword. 4= not a clue ??? But that nail is a serious fixing and if it had three then it wasn't meant to move that's for sure. 5= A round lead thing that we all find quite frequently and nobody knows what they are :D Probably a post medieval trade weight 6= well there are three types of small rolled up lead, one is a Roman curse, another is a net weight and the third is........well a rolled up bit of lead ;D Title: Re: last nights finds (some for id please) Post by: congerman on May 31, 2013, 09:30:53 AM thanks for the replies much appreciated ;)
