Are there any bodies of water near the site?

Yes, there is a body of water nearby.

An 80 gram lead is quite a chunk - I use something like that when bottom fishing. The round shape speaks against it, however, and leads rolling on the bottom of the water are rather undesirable when fishing. Perhaps a lead from a fishing net or from textile processing.

That could be the case, and the lead is probably not that old. The bodies of water near the site do not exist on a map from the 19th century.
