MEDIEVAL LOOKING DIAMOND MOUNT WHATZIT & NICE WEIGHT FROM REALLY OLD SITE

[GWWJR]

Some stuff from a very old Maryland site. I didnt think much of this find at 1st but then remembered Robfinds post about something similar as I was researching it. Its been worked on one side to give it a design.

Also, the XII weight marked 17 1/2 and has either CR or GR on it. A giant half dollar size cast button and what may be the end of a latten spoon

Any info on any of these

Oops this was supposed to go under what is it category. How do I change that?

The first photo looks like a carbide insert for a turning tool for a lathe to me.

Thanks for the reply. Cant say I disagree with that as far as the shape. lol. But the site hasnt produced anything new. Only 300-400 year old coins and relics. The item in question is copper/ bronze. The site is located on a river very near Chesapeake bay and is extremely remote.

Looks like a crude nut to me.

Thanks. I think you're right about that. Just inspected what looks to be threads in the hole.

Any thoughts on the weight?

I think your conical piece may also be a scale weight?

Thanks much. I'm pretty sure this one dates from 1740 or earlier as nothing was dug later at the site where found. Same with all the other items pictured.

I do too, from a bullion scale set. Would be nice to know if someone has seen this one so I can date it and find out what the markings mean. I guess its a 12 pennyweight.

Yes, its a British Coin Weight to weigh a Gold Unite (22 Shillings), looks to be a Charles I period (early 1600s).

Yes it would have to be 12. 8 would be VIII Penny weights make the most sense. Not sure about the 17 1/2? ANyone? I need a schooling

Its not a Bullion Weight, I IDed it above.

Not sure 'bout that diamond thing Gary, but that's a really nice coin weight. Love finding those things - especially the early ones.

 

[GWWJR]

Wow, thanks CRU. Thats one of the oldest things I have found then. That makes 2 coin weights from this site, both for gold coins. As a relic man, I'm real pleased with it.

Great hunt and finds esp. the coin weights.
A wanted relic here on the Delaware Bay sites .
