Is This An Old Fishing Weight Or A Prill?


Recommended Posts

Wasn't quite sure what forum to post this in, but i found this today at an old park.  The split in it makes me think fishing weight, but, could it possibly be a prill?  I found it in an area close to the placer fields, and the old mines above Helena, MT.

Could it be a weight standard for weighing raw gold?

🤷‍♂️  It is definitely lead.  Interesting how close to 20g it is. I just put it on the gold scale - 20.03 grams

GB I think you hit the nail on the head and I sure believe the same thing as you.
