  1. Hello everyone! I know this isn't about a coin, but i diddint know any other forums to ask in, and i know you all are very smart. So i found this a while back in autumm near a catsle hill (they are hills where a long time ago stood wooden pagan catsles)
    I know this isnt anything special but im realy interested to find out what that is.
    Any help??

    You mean spear?

    OK.. where do you live? And where is the castle located? We need some clues.

    I'm thinking a crude type of Caltrop

    I'm not saying it is.. just a suggestion.

    I agree-- perhaps a wolf's head:

    It looks like melted lead to me, does it feel quite heavy for its size? I do not think it is an artifact, just some left-over metal from casting bullets or maybe some Babbitt bearing metal for repairing machinery in the field.
