I figure it is lead.

Nice, and very old!

The church was built in 1794 and moved to its current location in 1835

Do you have any idea what the centre is made of-mica?

I dont know if it is Mica or how to tell. Seems like glass..

Yes it probably is, never even enter my head that it was. Thanks
Awesome recovery-never seen one posted up like it.
It would certainly be on the top shelf of finds.

I would say mica, but back when it was made it was probably called isinglass. We had deposits on the farm. My grandma called it isinglass.

It looks like dendritic agate to me.

That's a super cool piece, congrats!
I've actually seen a very similar one in an antique shop.
