Lead slugs (left) and Ben video records the ancient barrow


Nasty hollow point and heavy caliber lead slugs. From the era when bullet casings were cardboard.

The heavy wheels belong to a smelting barrow - probably something connected with gold mining. It's a mystery whether these belong to an actual wreck nearby or were jettisoned overboard to lighten the load of a ship stranded.
