Lead arrowhead? What the heck?

[rastinirv]

The idea of a lead arrowhead sounds ridiculous and I wouldn't have thought of such a thing were it not for the string on this thing I dug up the other day. It is almost certainly lead. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

Home-made net weight or hand-line sinker?

I agree with Charlie P. some sort of fishing weight.
