Title: Monster Spindle Whorl Post by: Radnor Bandit (Ian) on May 01, 2014, 05:34:27 PM I found this lovely beauty the other day whilst out with my mate Deadlock, its one of the largest decorated whorls I've seen in cracking condition as well.
Anybody else found larger than normal whorls ? Title: Re: Monster Spindle Whorl Post by: Dungbeetle on May 01, 2014, 06:38:22 PM That's a beauty, I've never found a plain one that size let alone one decorated. Well done !
