Title: Re: Lead Thimble Mould ? Post by: Chef Geoff on January 23, 2012, 03:41:44 PM That's an intriguing one Joel, is it hollow or solid? It certainly looks as if they have used a thimble to mould it.

What are the chances of 2 being found so far apart. I reckon they were home made fishing weights. Val |
