unusual find,lead knuckles ?

That's a different and awesome find. Nice! [emoji106]
 

during the civil war era "lead knuckles" where a common in the trenches ...hand to hand fighting weapon ...since brass was a vital war metal in the south and lead was common .. lead was used instead of brass ..., they were bad news to get hit with..
 

Really cool find. I dug a set of brass knuckles from a Cavalry privy, brutal last ditch weapon.

Yep occasionally find them in my privies I dig. All lead. A nice weapon to use at a time when dentists were scarce! jgas
 

Nice find. I found one in a set of woods a few years back, but mine aren't to old, they are made of brass. According to where I was, they probably just belonged to some gang banger.
 

That really cool, lead so you can't get them off after the beating! :-) Haaaaaaaaaa
