    Lead alloy whirligig or buzz disc, which has been cut from lead sheeting. The buzz disc is circular in plan and has a shape serrated edge. In the centre are two pinched off-centre holes, through which a looped string or cord would have been threaded. The spinning disc would have produced a whirring noise when the tension was relaxed by pulling the hands apart

    Took this coin to the Bristol museum and the finds officer has said its a roman soldier killing a horseman in battle minted in France AD348 and not the coin I thought it was and so instead of it being 1,975 yrs old its only 1,600 yrs old LOL

    I found what I believe is a roman coin I know its not most of your area but I think I know what I see but I value the fact as you all seem to have a good eye that you may see it too Not good picture I know I've tried scanning the coin Thanks

    "Scrap lead" top bit has been shaped into a builders plumb bob weight and the other looks like it was used as a palm push for sewing things White lead solphate deposits could indicate some age but that would be a guess
  22. George111
    Yeah what he said
  23. George111
    Doubt that theory seeing as the same design has been found in a few other parts of the country in defferant yrs and I like finding lead objects that are not just scrap metal

    I can also see vicimarias's legs and arm quite well it looks like a cross/dagger in his hand, can also just about make out the hand shake of the 2 figures "Agrippa"? and "Claudius"? in the centre You can't see the neck of "Claudius"? obviously because of the damage and delamination of metal of that area
