Seems like I stumbled upon this today... It's quite heavy for its size..
It was about 10 inches down and a huge pain in the neck to get it out haha!
And I accidentally marked it on the back with my trowel

Wow!! I never would of thought of that..
There's no markings whatsoever, so that makes sense.

Thank you!

I agree it's a fishing weight. You should post these in the "What is it" forum though.

Is it flat? From the pics I can't tell but it looks like the guys are correct.

Here's a picture of a sinker I found from an 18th century site.
