Today we headed to the old court house… this was in use up to around 1950. Never have we dug so much lead…. And you know we dig a lot! Most of it was ugly lead, the blobby stuff, but we got a nice range of stuff, I found 2 pennies 1860 and 1861.

The musket balls here are the smaller ones, a beautiful old horse shoe, other bits and bobs. The light was amazing from the sun, almost spring like so I got arty and took lots of photos 😁 xx

The last pic is the stuff we dug that I didn’t clean, that’s a lot of holes today!

Busy day of digging you had. Congrats

Nice going on the 2 pennies and the buckle.
No shortage of lead that's for sure, the one piece Photo#5 has a little design on it I see.

Great photo's blossom
Just need a little Holy around the tree knot and it turns into the Xmas wreath real quick.
Those strap hinge on the door is first class

If you zoom in on the pic of tree with berries, u can see Himself in the distance… 😆…. But not tell him … he will expect payment for modelling 🙄😂😂 xxx
 

I agree with Cru - fired shotgun slug.
Thank you for the beautiful landscape pictures and those of the old building.
Lead is worth something as scrap. I keep mine (and brass too) and turn them in for cash occasionally.

Yeap & Low Alpha Lead over 300 years old used to be worth more than Gold Prices.

Medical grade/old boat keel lead/lab testing lead can all be Low Alpha type lead.
Some can bring $25 a pound vs .50 cents a pound
 

Outstanding !
