Againstmywill Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Found my heaviest piece of lead today in a local park along with some additional old parts to railroad cars (I think). I'm guessing this came from when they used lead to join pipes together. Anyone familiar with that process is welcome to confirm or disagree. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D. Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I know that some old cast iron waste pipes had lead poured into the joined ends to seal and hold the pipes together! My house was built in 1941, and still has a few left, that I didn't replace, as they were still intact! I'm not sure in what form/shape the lead was in before being used by the plumbers of the time though!!👍👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 That is not from joining pipes together, the plate with some lead on it is rectangle not round. I think it may have been from some sort of valve like a fire hydrant. I am probably wrong about that but lead of that size was never used on fresh water pipes, only on waste water systems. It could also have been used in a hospital x-ray room as a sealer to join the walls together. They had used thick panels of lead in those rooms. I hope you uncover the mystery of what it went to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Againstmywill Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Of course, I forgot the most plausible explanation... it's Templar, Baby! I'm sending it off now to have it analyzed. Will it be found to contain lead mined in Europe, or is there some other explanation that will add to the mystery of Oak Island? 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 WHAT? lead found not on Oak Island ? Could this mean that the Knights Templar were somewhere besides Oak Island? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
