Title: any ideas please.
Post by: monkeymad on July 15, 2013, 05:37:03 PM
any ideas please. I had a new permission with surrounding bronze age barrows today, it looked to me like an arrowhead at first but I am probably wrong. it is metal but has got mineralisation on it. it has a small bit at the bottom as if it was fixed to something too.

fingers crossed its not just junk hahaha. ;D

What sort of weight is it Danny? That sort of mineralisation is only really common as aluminium oxide or lead oxide?

I shall weigh it if needed but definitely too heavy to be aluminium.

No I got another 4 new permissions today. There is another exactly the same which had a fin on one side but numb nuts here lost it, I think I know where it is as i had a sit down in the field for a fag break.  Which is another reason I thought arrow.

I don't think these are any identifiable artefact sorry.
