River Thames find

[derfel]

I found these yesterday, I have not had a positive i.d. yet they are made of lead and are 1 inch by 1 1/4 inch some have both sides with either a cow or script so i dont think they are printing blocks, I think they may be religious offerings and from India

Welcome fellow UKer. I hope you stick around & post more Thames finds. I've always dreamt of being a Mud Lark. The condition of stuff you find almost makes me want to move, but I hate lots of people & therefore will keep sucking stuff off the land here!

Happpy Hunting.

No idea what they are but printing blocks would have been my first guess!

Hi derfel
Welcome to Tnet.
I have no idea what you've found but they do look Indian/Asian.
With the sacred cow on some of them they could well have a religious significance.

Are you a member of the thames and field MD society?
if not check out there web site, it's one of the best I've seen.

Looking forward to more of your finds.

Dave.
