J jliller Jr. Member Nov 26, 2013 21 26 Florida Primary Interest: Other Aug 1, 2019 #1 Found this heavy chain buried on dry land, away from any bodies of water. Oval links are about 8-9 inches long and thicker around than my thumb. Any way to determine how old it is or what it might have been used for?
