I honestly agree with you. However, for fun debate, what was time in those days, if it weren't money? That goes for today as well, I suppose. Like I said, I have a hard time believing these were used as fishing weights. However, the fishing weight theory does hold some plausibility.I hear where you're coming from but then you can drive to the tackle shop and get another one. A lot of the grooves and small protrusions on these would never hold onto cord while a fish was pulling and thrashing around. A simple piece of sandstone or even down here a shell with a hole would work... I can't see taking exotic material spending a whole lot of time on it... Then making a weak attachment point and tossing it in the water
