How strange! I wonder if these are "magic squares," which Allen Thrasher studied years ago (but I don't know if he's on this list).

Intriguing. However, not the River Thames, but the River Sowe at Coventry (the city in the MIdlands where Lady Godiva took her famous ride).

Dear friends,

Is anybody familiar with the lead cubes in the attached picture? These were intriguingly found in the Thames River recently. The story from a local periodical is here:

I imagine these were deposited in the river rather recently, but maybe someone knows more. I’m curious what the ritual surrounding depositing such items in a body of water might be. 

All my best,

Charles
