Title: An odd lead disc - any ideas what it is? Post by: Trefor Meirionnydd on December 12, 2016, 02:14:11 PM I found this on Sunday but I haven't a clue what it is. It's about 16mm in diameter an appears to be made of lead. An early fruit gum perhaps?

Title: Re: An odd lead disc - any ideas what it is? Post by: Trefor Meirionnydd on December 13, 2016, 01:37:22 PM Thanks all. Following your suggestions I had a quick search through the PAS site at finds.org.uk and there seem to be quite a few similar objects listed. As you say, possibly a token or gaming piece and probably much older than I thought when I first dropped it in my little bag...
I'm not sure they'll exchange it for scrumpy down at the coop! Title: Re: An odd lead disc - any ideas what it is? Post by: scara on December 13, 2016, 04:19:20 PM you could give it a go ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
