Found these today buried buried in the little miami river in Ohio, at site which was a camping area for armies in the late1700's and early 1800's. I thought they were lead, but ringing up right on 80-81 on my AT Pro and a lead sinker rings in the 50's. any chance they could be silver, the Shawnees lived in this area and had a silver mine. They both stand in end, almost like an old game piece.

Put em in an iron pan and set it on a good, hot, bed of coals. Heck, throw some coals on top too. Let em get good and hot and tap on them with something like a metal pole. They will either melt, or heat up and break the crust and expose the true metal inside.
