Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: crashland on September 10, 2009, 02:31:36 PM I'm going to have to go for the spoon. It's not as old as the bronze age piece but it's really lovely.
Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: DIG IT! (ADIE) on September 10, 2009, 04:54:30 PM Yes the spoon does it for me very unusual find .Something different :o
Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: waltonbasinman on September 10, 2009, 05:47:06 PM Though being very keen on the Bronze Age the spoon does it for me in it,s unusualness. Very nice find
Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: DIGGA on September 10, 2009, 05:53:22 PM WELL FOR ME IT HAS TO BE THE SPOON SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUANNESS OF IT ,,, IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE ,,,,,,A FANTASTIC AND HIGHLY UNUSUAL PIECE ;) ;) ;)

Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: Stig(The) on September 10, 2009, 06:25:59 PM Spoon !. Although the Half-Sov is a cracking find too. The Spoon wins it for me as there is a possibility another Half-Sov could be found by a DW Member,where as the Spoon is probably a "One Off"

Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: StumbledUpon on September 12, 2009, 02:51:40 PM Just seen this, Four very nice finds, Im going for the spoon, and the B/A close second. :)
Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: Malcolm.mtts on September 12, 2009, 02:54:46 PM without question it must be the spoon for the originality and the probability it is a one off never to be found again.
I saw this spoon moments after it was dug up and the photograph does not do it justice. Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: waltonbasinman on September 12, 2009, 04:58:54 PM Hell you buggers come on. 407 members and only 35 votes. Get in there.

Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize! Post by: Neil on September 13, 2009, 09:08:19 PM The winner was as you can all see the Coin Spoon, which was probably used for dishing out tea at some point.
If the finder [I think it was Willow Tree] can send me their details via a PM - I'll get Geoff to post your prize to you. The prize which was kindly donated by Millsy is coincidentally a Coin ring! Sorry I am late in announcing this, but I have literally just got in from work. Congratulations Neil Title: Re: Llantwit Major Rally Find of the Day prize!
