Thanks Vortigern for putting the references in better for me. Johns is written prepublished so are in his own hand, as the others are copys he also sent me oops: I will also put them on the scale and weigh them the heavy square one belongs to the group so it will be a while I get my hands on it again.
Thanks also Pavllvs, what made me do it was when I went to a conferance years ago and listened to a talk on the Velsen finds and the lead sling shot,when it was said they had run out of mass produced shot they made there own useing thumbs ,butt points of spears ect as they had no ready made moulds at hand.I made copys of these which in turn made me think of other things they may run out of and so how could they replace amunition ie: Plumbata.
AS for the bit on distnce in the centre there is a square garden featurwith a large tree above it if you draw a parellel line roughly staight up we were standing throwen towards Chester Legionary wall and came very close to the base of the rampart to the right and I could not guess the distance so I hope the pic gives a idea.Thanks again
Regards Brennivs
