All found at same site.
Lead casting happened here, found hundreds of mackeral jigs, net & fishing weights,
slag hunks everywhere, & a 30 lb stamped Chadwick ingot.
The piece found yesterday was folded, figured it was a slug used for fishing weight.
When I cleaned it, I saw some detail & pried it open, voila, reverse inside,
wreath & 'One Cent', Wreath resembles Draped style, which is one of the earlier ones I found, the other one is a George 11-111.
The weights on all are all wrong. (over), They are very poor copies.
I think they were producing these right here.
Good Day & HH to All!
