Buckles silver dime and a mystery big lead ball with loop

[Kmatch7]

Tried a new spot today. A bunch a buckles found. Not sure of the age of them if anyone has insight that would be great. 1943 Canadian dime. And a real heavy lead ball. Looks like a weight of sorts. The loop looks to be copper. It’s very interesting and really would like to know what it is.

They didn't change much in 2000 years, I get lots of Roman ones looking the same.

Sort of like the weight I used to see on old gates, to make it close behind you.
