Some sort of cast iron weight (30lbs), shiny metal upon scratching. Found in my garden under a bush Dorset uk.

Found this buried in a garden in Dorset, UK. It is solid cast iron (confirmed by a metallic scratch beneath the mud crust) and weighs exactly 30 lbs. It measures 3.5cm x 28cm x 20.5cm. It features interlocking grooves on the side profile, a stamped 'B', a stamped 'D', and the Roman numerals 'XXX' (matching the 30 lb weight). One end is cleanly snapped along a pre-molded scoring line. Looking to identify the foundry or original industrial/maritime use!

Thanks

*EDIT 1- might not be cast iron as it’s not magnetic. However Google is saying the dimensions don’t fit the weight. I guess it could be mixed with other things?

Found this under a bush in my garden in Weymouth

Any ideas? From what I can gather it’s some sort of boundary stone. It weighs ALOT and tings like it’s some sort of metal. It was loose with other rocks so it wasn’t where it originally was. I will cross post on other subs too. Thanks!

Installment plans

I’m not sure if this is old news but on the ticketmaster website you can pay off installments early and pay the whole balance off early now. You can also change card details (but you have to pay an installment to do this). Discovered these options this afternoon.
