We have a few found fishing weights (found here on the beaches of RI) but they don’t look anything like that. They’re small and made of lead with the number “3″ on them. But they are really neat. We keep a look out for them when we hunt for sea glass.

Thanks for the Pomodoro link. I’m giving it a try. Seems to make a whole lot of sense.

Are you sure you saw fishing weights when you were overseas? Until I started scanning the text, I was wondering why I was seeing Kettlebell weights on D*S that looked remarkably like the ones I’ve seen at various gyms. Try checking a fitness supply for a cheaper alternative… yes, there are plenty with logos, but some are nice plain metal ones similar to this…. and to get the texture/patina, you could always leave them outside for a while…

the ones I’m thinking of would look something like the ones in the picture on this site: http://workoutiq.com/blog/2008/06/22/kettlebell-size-for-bebinners/

Please let us know when you find those door stoppers. What a great idea!

The fishing weights had my jaw dropping too!

I almost moved to Melbourne once. I still sometimes wonder what my life would be if I had :-)

I love these weights! Don’t you think it would be a great way to quietly showcase a meaningful date in your home? A birthday, or anniversary. So sweet!
