Evening All,
I had a nice couple of finds today.
I have always wanted to find a Lizzy hammered.To be honest a whole one would have been nice,but never mind,I'm getting closer! Grin
As you can see it was well bent up,but it has straightened out ok.I'm pretty sure it's part of a Lizzy sixpence.




Also found a really nice,complete,thimble too,which more than made up for my broken hammered  Grin

Well that is a lovely thimble and also intact; every silver thimble I have found has had some sort of defect. Nice. Cool
