Smallest one is a blob of metal about the diameter of a half dime, the others would all appear to be stone with holes to suspend them. Except the big block thing, no holes in it. Came in a single lot, somehow probably all related. Thanks for any assistance!
can't say for sure they are coins.Maybe some are but might be jewelry? Perhaps you have found the currency system of the people of Atlantis. * just want to keep updated on this thread. curious of what they actually are as well.
The piece on the left is vaguely reminiscent of Celtic proto-money rings, but the ones I've seen are far more crude than the item in the OP.
Others appear to be weights of various sorts and perhaps cultures and periods. Here are a couple examples...hopefully the links will work: Byzantine weights: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ca...1&fld=http://www.forumancientcoins.com/Coins/ Syrian or Egyptian (2000 BC): http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8542536
Bob beat me to it, yes its a spindle whorl. Next to coins, maybe the most common small manmade object found as every home had some. The other objects, at least the two larger pieces, appear to be weights. The third, smallest piece, I am not sure of. Is it also made of stone?
Bottom "blob" is Japanese. I'm away from my references, but if someone else wants to check Hartill it shouldn't be hard to find.
The small blob at the bottom is Japanese Mameita Gin (bean money). Silver of varying weight. I think yours appears to be from the Tenpo era which is relatively common.
