you can see the carved + better than me, do you think it could be a flattened
positive top post battery terminal, used for a sinker

The lead weight might be more modern than you think.
but it is interesting that there are many gouges as if it was run over
on a gravely road but the image of the cross(X) is relative intact!
Here is an image that might have made the weight.

Here is a link to a website were a guy finds multiple lead pendant that were traded to the Native Americans in the early 1700.I was thinking this may be one of them considering where I found it.

Here comes the crowd with the pitchforks and torches to tell you it's not an artifact...

I have no idea whether it is a Native American artifact or not, but 98% of the Civil War lead I've dug had a white patina because of the age.

Neat find

I would weigh it and see if it's a 10 ? like the roman numeral X ... worth a try to eliminate the Sinker or verify it ?
