Nice. I like the seal piece. The lead I find are rarely musket balls but most often slag. Wth people were doing far away from any building and having lead slag in their pocket to drop, is something idk. It's not like pocket change. :confused:

That lead is really sweet. You should be able to identify it, the coat of arms is in a good shape.

Its a seal from a book or letter.
On de seal is a familie wapon.
We have a lot familie wapons in de 17e century.
Hard to find it.

People used to cast their own sinkers and fishing lures, ect... Did it myself when I was a kid. Something you would do out in the yard.

Very nice finds Willems! I always enjoy your post.
