Lead fishing weight

[flyadive]

Found in NJ along a river bank, do you think it's a home made fishing weight casted from a spoon ? Or could it have been an indian necklace.
It is lead and flat on one side , spoon shape on the other.

burial grounds and merry-go-rounds are all the same to me Horses on posts and kids and ghosts are spirits we ought to set free. Them city slicker pickers got a lot of slicker licks than you and me

I think you nailed the ID. Looks like a homemade lead fishing weight, using a spoon as the mold.

got about a dozen of those spoon weights - there is one spoon and a round home made one in pic above
usually I find these at old spots from the late 1800s early 1900s

I have found lots of these in the lake bed, well where the lake used to be before the drought. Yours looks like it was spoon cast weight. the factory ones like that usually have a little hump on the bottom on both sides. I have found many of those of different sizes. I usually melt them down or throw them into a bucket to be recycled.
