I was very excited when I saw the lead sundial as I have found one almost identical to this one in Pennsylvania. It was found about 18 inches deep under old tree roots next to a 1700s mill. However before this mill was built and almost right next to it was a log cabin built probably in the late 1600s. My sundial does not have the date but is complete, slightly smaller then the one in the article being only 4 inches square. The gnomon (which is also lead) is intact but was bent down when found. My father in law straightened it for me. It is just amazing to me that these two finds are so much the same. I don't know if the sundial website would be interested in seeing this one being from the states, although there is every chance that being so early it may have been brought over from England.

Hi chrick53

I would love to see pictures of your sundial if you could post them. I am sure Chris Daniel at the BSS would be very pleased to know of it and may even be able to help with some ID. As he has told me, and says in his article, each sundial only works at the latitude it was made for so yours must have been made over the pond I would think.

Sounds like we have a good story to tell between us.............. :g50:

Any links with your site to Lincolnshire in England?........ :g43:
