Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 8:41 pm It appears to be made of lead? At 70 grams, I'm thinking it's way too heavy for anything monetary or numismatic. It could be a weight of some kind (with "3" being the number of weights being measured) but I'm thinking more along the lines of "roof tile" or "old plumbing fixture". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2871 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 01:54 am I think that's just about possible - though with artifacts so crude it's difficult to be certain. I recall quite an interesting one with a dolphin motiff sold on ebay UK for Â£3.00 a while ago - which was probably a bargin.
