Bunker Hill

[idahotreasurehunter]

I found this huge piece of lead stamped "Bunker Hill" and was hoping someone might be able to tell me something about it. http://idahotreasurehunters.blogspot.com/2009/05/metal-detecting-finds-bunker-hill-lead.html

I am not understanding where a few are talking about pop-ups. There is a full page ad that shows every six hours or so per ip address but that is it. I don't like pop-ups either. When the full page ad appears even for me I just click in the upper right corner where it says skip this ad.

LOL Full page ads appear within seconds before you can even view anything. You can however click the upper right hand corner but it takes a while to figure this out. I think most people will just give up. Its actually kinda scary like something is taking over your computer.

Can the 6 hour setting have been changed to 6 seconds Maybe your site has received more than normal amount of hits and now the pop ups are increased due to that

It may be some type of marker.

Bunker Hill Lead Marker. I Believe This Is An Original Marker. It Is Very Heavy 5 Pounds It Measures 3 Inches Across The Bottom 2 1/2 Across The Top 1 3/4 Inches High. It Is Stamped Bunker Hill On The Top.

The hole is to secure the marker? Does it read anything in the square box under hole/bunker hill pat'd?

Google Low Alpha Lead. It may still be worth BIG bucks.......NGE

My father-in-law just told me yesterday that it might be a survey marker, and the hole is to hold the stick. Not sure about that. There is no other writing on the thing other than what I posted. However, I just noticed yesterday that the hole in the top is about 1/2" but where it comes out the bottom is about the diameter of a pencil.

The saga continues.........

By the way, there is still time to enter my monthly drawing for May. If you don't win, you can try again in June. You can enter once per day.

Thanks for the input.

I forgot to ask; how does one determine low alpha lead? I didn't have much luck with it on Google to find out how to tell if it is or not.
