Title: lead hook ? Post by: wagis on May 26, 2015, 10:03:08 AM Went out for a couple of hours last night and apart from the usual pile of buttons I found a lead hook, any ideas what it could have been used for? and a coin with zee lan dia on it which I believe date back to around 1750 something or 1770 something. cannot quite see the end numbers. I have put an old half penny next to the mto give an idea of the size. Out of these couple of small fields I have now found a Lizzie hammy, a Norman silver ring, Russian lead bag sealls, a spanish real and now this Netherlands coin. Stuff from all over the world.
