Title: Found today
Post by: ysbytymike on August 21, 2012, 09:34:36 PM
Anybody have an idea? Both from the same field and just a few yards apart.
Pewter but that's about as far as my knowledge goes..

Thought I'd better modify this post as the bangle type thing was found as described but last week - not today.

Wouldn't like to say Mike but the first one would make a mean knuckle duster. ;D

Knuckle duster!!
Blimey Val, what part of the world do you live in???  :D :D

I think artefacts are great to find. I get more of a buzz finding this type of object than I do coins.
Although, old british silver comes a very close second.  ;)

I think they are the handles off a pot, probably 18 century.

Possibly drinking vessel.

Nice find.

Nobby you're a cheeky begger. Yes we had a Kodak and a plastic one at that.

Cardiffian, I think it could have been Polperro.

Thanks Jan. See I wasn't always a cranky old lady. Quite hip as a matter of fact. Ah the 60's there will never be a time like that again.

Agree about the sixties there Val.
Notice how much of that era's music is being used today in all sorts of ways,'themes, adverts', and so on..
