Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: sukisal on October 24, 2009, 09:17:20 PM That looks interesting, can you try and get clearer pics on. And of back.
Could be Saxon, then again could be more recent as the style is still made now. Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: simon c on October 24, 2009, 09:20:11 PM Very nice Phil,shame its broken,but still a great find,i would agree with Aide,it does look like the centre of a brooch,the only other suggestion i can think of is the centre of a ring,but could be a bit flat,some thing like this
Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: Neil on October 25, 2009, 10:38:55 AM Now that looks a bit special Phil - great find mate. I would also sit in the Saxon camp on that. I wonder what stone was in it?
Cracking post mate Neil Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: 1morecoin on October 25, 2009, 10:45:14 PM Check my avatar Phil, early Saxon found in the Vale, looks similar.
Steve. Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: Stig(The) on October 25, 2009, 10:55:32 PM Nice find phil,shame about the damage though !
Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: hedgehog on October 26, 2009, 02:29:02 PM That looks nice Phil, maybe with the saxon strapend nearby that is a good pointer, I hope it is saxon.

Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: Gadget(Ian) on October 27, 2009, 08:01:42 AM well done 1more coin for bringing your avatar to our attention. it does look very similar indeed. any chance of a better picture to compare Phil's find with yours as yours seams a bit more complete.
Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: 1morecoin on October 27, 2009, 02:39:24 PM This is early Saxon 6th or 7th century found in Llysworney on R.A.R.E club land when i was a member i hasten to add, it is a mount off a book or satchell.
Looks similare to yours, this is guilt copper alloy but yours is obviously gold. Steve. Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: coleggwent(phil) on October 27, 2009, 02:52:39 PM no steve it is giult had it checked out mate :-\ so it is the same as yours i think ???
Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: coleggwent(phil) on October 27, 2009, 02:55:05 PM ps forgot to say thanks mate for that ;)
Title: Re: could you do anything with this pete please Post by: 1morecoin on October 27, 2009, 03:05:54 PM No problem Phil, a cracking find there to go with the other cracking finds you are making lately, keep um coming.
Obviously i don't want you to give any exact details but just out of curiosity was it found in the Vale? As it seems that quite a few Saxon coins and artefacts have come from the Vale over the last few years. Steve.
