Hi,
I was detecting an old Anglo Saxon Motte dating back at least 1000 years, and I made some discoveries that I was unsure about.
In the pictures:
A nail made of Lead? why would anyone use lead for a nail?
Also the small coin-shaped piece of lead with holes in it?
I'd also like to know if these finds would be consistent with that period?
Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks!
