Found this unusual lead figurine at a beach in Puerto Rico. I wonder how old it could be. It was really deep in the sand. No gold found as of yet, but lots of clad have been recovered. Lots of sun and fun too!

nice find, I find lead figures and keep alot of them. I havent researched them yet, but Ive seen some sell for waaay more than I would pay for them. I guess its like any other collectable, somebody is collecting them and researching them, some may be valuable, some common, I have no clue on value but I like digging up stuff like that. In the old days, people made stuff at home out of lead alot, so I suppose it could be a one of a kind. At least that would be nice for you if it was  Cool

Thanks. It was made from a mold and the edge lines not cleaned well. Probably home made and yes one of a kind. I'll keep researching to see what I come out with. Love to find things like that too:-)
