ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2520 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 03:59 am Ok, but wouldn't a lead seal have a hole through it? These are 0.89mm and 0.61mm thick. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 04:40 am Normally, yes. I'm seeing features on this that might be holes, or collapsed holes, but nothing that shouts "seal hole". The crux is of course what they're made of. If they're actually copper/bronze, then they're not seals. 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
ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2520 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 05:09 am Interesting, by my calculations say if pure lead 19mm / 2 sq * PI* 0.61 * 11.34 = approx 1.96 grams if bronze 19mm / 2 sq if* PI* 0.61 * 8.8 = approx 1.52 grams at 1.79 grams it lies in the middle I'm going with a lead alloy, say something like pewter?
