Some lovely finds there mate!

The book calsp is in stunning condition - not sure where to start dating it. Is it hinged?

I think you may be right about the bronze age chisle - I'll have a look in my reference books for you.

Well done - great post

Even better if its moving freely.

I think this is quite a good match for your Bronze Age Tanged Chisel - its missing a bit of the stem that would have been counter sunk into wooden handle - but you get the idea.

No worries - its from Bennetts Artefacts first Edition - so the value is way out now.

I knew I had seen a similar one somewhere before!

Nice finds. I wonder if the hinged thing is part of a fancy belt clasp. What's the back like and is it thin pressed metal or solid and cast?

Very nice ID Neil. It is indeed a Tanged and Lugged Chisel with some of the stem missing. It is of a Style called the Broadward complex metalwork after the place this style of metalwork was first recognised, Broadward near Leintwardine in Herefordshire. Well done on the find. The mystery object I think is Bronze Age as well but I am racking my brains to remember where I have seen one before. It may be worth contacting the Searcher or Treasure Hunting magazines for a positive ID. Or try the UKFD. Well done though, Dream finds for me.
