Title: 3 hr speed session
Post by: sharkey on October 02, 2016, 11:57:57 PM
hi all, this afternoon i got out for 3 hours, had to be on my toes as i was sharing the field with a huge bull and all of his ladies. they wouldn't settle in any particular area of the field, so i was constantly on the move, trying to stay in the opposite corner from them! thankfully came through unscathed! here are my finds, silver shilling, silver spoon which looks like george 3rd within the hallmark, possible silver piece of cufflink. not sure what the item far left is, appears to have 2 holes through it. would appreciate any ideas on it. for a split second i thought i had a tudor dress hook, but doesn't marry up to any on google! thanks guys

Looks like a very nice coat hook, very ornate. You did well under the circumstances.
