horseshoe and lead cone?

[oldshagbuilt]

a small cone made from lead... i did find one on google that looked the same but said it was part of a minie ball?
and im guessing maybe a horseshoe but its pretty big and wide and cant see any holes. found in kent uk

Don't know about the lead, but the other thing looks like a pot handle

Agreed.

Not a horse shoe. I like the others idea of a cauldron handle.

You didn't tell us the size of the lead cone, or put something like a coin or ruler in the photo with it to show the size. That makes it much more difficult to correctly identify.

There is a similar-looking lead cone (which has a solid base) that was one of three parts of a US civil war Shaler bullet, measuring about .56-inch in diameter. It's unlikely but not impossible that a Shaler 3-piece bullet got over to England. If the diameter of your lead cone's base doesn't measure .56-inch, it's not a Shaler bullet part.

its about half a inch diamater and the same tall.

one side is a little bit flatter lip if i measure from that its bang on 14mm which is .56 inch. it does look exactly like the google images of the bullet too

The lead thing looks like a casting cone, casting sprue, at least it seems like the ones from my experience casting jewelry.
