CJ18850 Pillar of the Community United States 575 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 12:03 pm Looks like a hem weight. The extra top hole is interesting. They were sewn into the bottom of women's dresses and coats of both genders to also include hanging curtains. They are usually lead or ceramic and numbered as well. I have dug many from detecting.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/30/2024 08:29 am I agree that it is a curtain weight or hem weight.
