Found these today buried buried in the little miami river in Ohio, at site which was a camping area for armies in the late1700's and early 1800's. I thought they were lead, but ringing up right on 80-81 on my AT Pro and a lead sinker rings in the 50's. any chance they could be silver, the Shawnees lived in this area and had a silver mine. They both stand in end, almost like an old game piece.

It's also very heavy and non magnetic
 
No idea, Lo is usually pretty good at identifying this stuff! Ray
 
Put em in an iron pan and set it on a good, hot, bed of coals. Heck, throw some coals on top too. Let em get good and hot and tap on them with something like a metal pole. They will either melt, or heat up and break the crust and expose the true metal inside.
