- Whites MXT & PI1000 / Minelab Excalibur
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
