All came out of an Ohio yard, mostly 8 to 11 inches deep. There was a house torn down in the 50's there.

The razor is a Star made by Kampfe Brothers, most likely turn of the century. Not all there but interesting.

The spoon is soup size and the silver plating is peeling off. Is there a way to remove it or will it just break off?

The big issue is the piece of lead. It weighs 5 pounds and has obvious signs of hatchet marks. Any idea
what this would have been used for? Perhaps as a cutting board to kill poultry on? There is a hole in it which
leads me to believe it had another purpose.

Interesting afternoon hunt but I am really puzzled about the lead.
