Title: Weird looking thing for ID please
Post by: Ringpull-Grafter on January 24, 2022, 22:56:26 PM
Found this on a high ploughed but flat tacky field about 10 inches down it gave a clear bell sound on my Garrett Euro ace and registered high in the none ferrous indicator, any ideas on an idea would be appreciated, thanks in advance  :)

Thanks Tascio, it's quiet heavy & I think it's made of lead but can't be sure

Thank you Tascio & I am really curious and hopefully someone else might of found something similar that has found a similar item that's been ID'd. On the other forum I'm a member of, a genius ID'ing coins says it's part of a lead toy gun from Victorian times but I can't see that at all & looks like part of some sort of pipe to me, the Roman plumbing part could be right but why would they make a plumbing part decorative with small detail but I am no expert by a long shot! Cheers for your efforts 👍
