Title: Re: pot leg Post by: The Doc on May 04, 2009, 07:17:02 PM Bronze vessel legs are difficult to date closely - generally 13th-17th century range.
Title: Re: pot leg Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on May 04, 2009, 07:21:04 PM HI Phil, he SAID ITS A GOOD ONE its also an unusual one, cos of the single rib down the front i think
Title: Re: pot leg Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on May 05, 2009, 05:53:51 AM I noticed that as soon as i seen it ,
Does he think its voltive ? doesnt look as if its had any use. Title: Re: pot leg Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on May 05, 2009, 07:31:29 AM He didn't say Much Phil, only that its an unusual one., but were i found it i'm sure would have been just in on the edge of a lake at the time, so to my mind it was an offering to the gods. yeah it has had a bit of use i think Phil. i think they offered it before it went too far down
will have to wait for the report Title: Re: pot leg Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on May 05, 2009, 07:40:31 AM hes very slow at bringign things back latley
He wanted to take Dereks Arrow head in but seeing it wouldnt be back for a few months i thought it best to bring it home and ask Derek 1st Mark seams to think its a Roman medical Implement Im not so sure theres an identical one in this months treasure hunting and they call it an arrow head |
