Those are some nice finds, that looks like a productive spot! The thing that you said could be a bale seal looks to me like it could be a weight for a fishing net. :icon_thumright:

Nice finds! I wonder what the flat lead is. I was hunting near a colonial cellar site last week and found a flat, round piece of lead that was very similar. If they’re turning up in multiples maybe they had some purpose :icon_scratch:

Nice variety of finds. I bet that spot has more good things to come. Good luck!

Interesting stuff it looks like you had a lot of close calls on round copper like objects... great hunt though there has to be more there with that kind of stuff! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
