Wow. It still has some red paint on it. At that depth, it might be quite a historical find.

I am thinking maybe it was made around 1900 to 1920 would anyone hazard a guess as to it's age.

I believe lead toys were discontinued from the mid 1960 's.

Nice find from a deep location. It looks like possibly a British soldier. I would guess older than the 1900s possibly.
US find or overseas?

Good find. Finding 10 inch deep lead is a good sign that the Manticore is doing a good job.

Cool find.
Wondering what that rang up as ? Low gold #'s ?

Google Barclay Lead soldier. You'll be surprised how collectible they are. Great recovery!

No it was not a low Gold Reading if i remember i think it rang up 40 to 50 VDI Number , more of a mid range number.

I just did some air tests on the soldier and it is reading 37 to 40 on the Target ID Number.
