I found this in the garden yesterday (pictures on link below). It's
made of lead and looks like a large rivet. The dome is 2" in diameter
and 1" deep, the length is 4.75" and the shaft is 0.75". At the end is
a small steel pin, it is loose but will not pull out. There's
something loose inside as it rattles when shaken. Anyone got any
ideas? I was a bit reluctant to pull the pin too hard or cut it open!

==================================
It could be the remains of a crudely made poker from a set of fire
irons. Good quality fire irons usually had brass handles.

This is made of lead, hardly suitable considering its low melting point!

===================================
I don't remember pokers getting that hot! You didn't leave the poker in
the fire - just stir it up a bit.
