I was metal detecting and I think I have an old lead weight for fishing but it was buried at least 10 inches which is pretty deep in Florida. I double checked via FaceTime with my Vietnam Vet dad who had experience in all types of munitions, to make sure I wasn’t bringing an explosive in the house… his response “maybe… I mean possibly… you won’t be around to find out soon if it is.”
I figured you guys might be able to help!! Weighs approximately 6.1 oz, has an 8 stamped on it, and I was able to gouge it so definitely lead.

It’s an inline sinker, though the hole through it is likely clogged with debris
It’s a simple egg sinker.
