Heavy lead(?) ball

[Capone]

Found this today. This thing is crazy heavy for it's size. I'd put it at 6-7 pounds. Rang a solid and loud 85 on ATpro above and below the ground. It is just barely magnetic.

Any ideas?

I think what you might have there is a commercial lead downrigger ball.

Run a magnet over it to look for the remains of the metal eye-wire.

Should be two of them in a right angle from the center if it is a downrigger ball, They might not be magnetic.

Or, look for where the two pieces of eye-bolt ripped out of the lead, and no wonder they lost their cheap-@zz downrigger weight!

Thank you! Found this in the middle of a baseball field, 3 miles from the nearest lake.
