I found this under an old house in Savannah Georgia

[Dollybyers]

Hello All:

Years ago, I found this under an old house in Savannah Georgia. It is lead and weighs about 200 grams (~7 oz).

The closest thing I have found in my research is this: Lead Indian Pendant (Sergei has a great metal detecting site BTW). I am skeptical that this is what this is... but who knows.

Anyone else run into anything like this

Thanks and have a GREAT WEEKEND!!

Just guessing but could it be a type of window weight?

part of a bar for doing lead joints on waste pipes

Looks like a lot of the old hand made fishing weights I've seen

If under the house it is lead for waste pipes as said above

I'd be interested in learning about the architecture of the house, as well as the actual dimensions of this piece.

Sounding weight maybe.....or not

Window sash weight?

I was thinking before you described as lead a conventional house foundation leveling wedge. I’m sure we’ll get to the bottom of this mystery.

seeing the hole in it makes me think a weight , maybe for fishing or for a fishing net .

it's not plumbers lead , way to small . when I was a plumber we melted 5lb cakes of lead not little bits.
each lead joint you made up took 1 LB of lead per inch of pipe diameter. so that thing is too small for doing even the smallest joint which would be 2'' and take 2LBS.

I agree with Bleemus....Window sash weight

Nope, that was mine. Still didn't find out what it is.

At 7oz wouldn't that be a little light for a sash weight? Not saying it isn't but the only sash weights I have seen were cylindrical in shape.
