Found lots of lead ... probably from "buildings"
not bullets ... so much

don't know why it is there?
I know for usage in windows ... stained glass

I contacted Mr Wolfgang from plumbbob.de who is collecting them...
he says it is not like any of his plumbbobs he has...
so... it can be lead weight (trade weight) or more leaning to something relayed to fishing.

Again, after sending him new photos, he returned photo of similar roman lead plumbbob.


That one has a hook embedded in the lead.

Confirmed ancient plumbbob

How old were the buildings do you think ???

I have found Greek coin (Apollonia - 80 BC), Roman (3rd-4th century) and Bizantian coin (6th century) on that hilltop 80x50m...
there was a "castle" or something with houses around in 16th century...
