johnnyi said:Nice finds. Those are net weights by the way. If found inland in the N.E. they are usually related to shad fishing, or in bay areas for general fishing. Your's are probably mid to late 1800's. here are a few I've dug this year from my area. The bent types are the oldest (late 1700's-early 1800's) and the cylinder and double cone type are usually the newer 20th century type.
