Anyone ever find anything like this?

I was searching some old foundations from late 1800's early 1900's and my ACE 250 hit showing a dime i dug and dug and dug finally decided to check this unusually heavy gob of stones I pulled out of the hole and ding ding ding , so I kept the "gob" of small stones when I got home and was looking it over it is a gob of lead with small stones stuck all through it .

LOL ! Can't be i didn't get dizzy

 

[trixster]

Oh yeah I also broke 200 coins too 209 in fact not too bad for the amount I get out . Hoping to go again today though

Congrats on the breaking 200 And about the glob, the house that was there probably burned down, causeing the glob to form.

That is possible because the town I live in was nearly destroyed by fire in 1910 . Glad ya thought of it

up until the mid 50's lead was the predominant metal used for plumbing, so you probably found the kitchen drain pipe
LOL

 

[imafishingnutt]

No but I stepped in something like that once. i try to detect around them because if it beeps i have to move it...LOL

Not only did they use lead for plumbing, it was used to solder rain gutters and window flashings for many years.

Yeah but why all of the stones mixed in with it?

Trixter,
Here's a large piece I found on a farm earlier this year. It was very heavy and my detector went crazy on it. I thought I had a meteorite, but it turned out to be slag.
-MM-

In the old days there was usually a woodburning, pot-bellied stove in the kitchen, and later on people would sometimes burn coal. And, sometimes mixed in with the coal ashes and cinders were "clinkers" which were big chunks of stuff that didn't burn. But, that idea still doesn't explain the pebbles. Got yourself a genuine puzzler there, Trixster.

I have found a few of those last year. But I still don't have a clue as to what they are.

Could be the firefighters also shoveled sand/dirt from the ground to try and put out some of the fire. If they started shoveling dirt from the ground, could be some rocks got in there also. just a thought.
