Lead whats it?

[Chitlin]

Found in some fill dirt... a greedy vulture site I'm calling it.. (a whole nother topic for a rainy day...)

I heard of good stuff being found with lots of bickering over whose dirt is whose...anyway this was my find for the few hours I looked..cool trade & navigation token 1838... and I love marbles (eyeball bonus)...this lead thing is weird....any ideas?

They were also used in the hem of womens skirts to hold them down

The reason so many are found is that men ripped them off any chance they could and flung them.....

Bump -

Give duffytrash a PM and ask him about htis marble... It looks great and he should be able to give you some information about it. Nice buckle too...

Hem weights... those things were sewn into everything...

Much like Chickman - They're everywhere! They're everywhere!
