Hello Folks.
I am 33 years old and a newbie from Europe. Mainly I am searching underwater. I got a Whites MXT for the land-searching, a Whites PI1000 and a Minlab Excalibur for the underwater searching. Yesterday I sold my old and dependable Fisher CZ-20 because I had some spare part problems. It is not so easy to get some special parts here in Europe. I am searching with detectors since 4 years.
We have a large spectrum of artefacts (stoneage/medieval/WW2) here in my region but I am only a collector and no dealer. My main interest is the founding of old stoneage places at the seashore. We have some very interesting places here. But now back to my problem.
I have some items that I cant identify since 2 years. It is very irritating for me that I have some of them in my vitrines and I cant say my friends what exactly it is!
So I would like to try to identify them here. In this posting I would like to beginn with three objects made of lead. I found them in the water, lying on the seabed. I think they must be old. In the history of the city there was a small harbour since 1400 a.C..
Before I searched the first time in that area I readed some archeological books about the spot. There are a lot of old lead, ceramic fragments and splinter of glass in the mud and in the sand. But they are really old, I think before 1700. These three items have the same style and I dont know where they used for. I think it could be a type of an early clinometer, for balancing the ships freight on old sailships but I dont know if its true. I ask a lot of poeple here in my region, some old fisher too and I am study a lot of books but without any results. The scale I used for the photos are in centimeter.
Sorry for my bad "school" english!
With best regards from the western Baltic Sea

My old English teacher critiqued my term paper in front of the class one day and pointed out several misuses of good and well. She said good was a measure of quality and well was a measure of success. Being the smarta$$ that I was/am I said aloud, "Well, that's good to know"! The principal said he didn't think it was funny either, so he sat me down in his outer office and gave me an Outdoor Life magazine to read until the class was over. I overheard him having a good laugh with his secretary over it. They both giggled well. Monty P.S. I haven't a clue what your mystery items are.
