Don't know what the first is, but the second presumably a lead token, possibly a hop token - any hops grown in your area? Lots of info on lead tokens here if you haven't already checked this site: http://www.mernick.org.uk/leadtokens/ (http://www.mernick.org.uk/leadtokens/) Title: Re: 2 interesting bitsd of Lead Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 08, 2011, 07:42:55 PM hi peter,
