Title: Re: is this gold Post by: waltonbasinman on August 30, 2010, 06:53:14 PM Could do with a closer picture on the possible gold to be sure Steve. Certainly looks Stator size but the Doc will put you right on it Steve. Sure the other item is a furniture mount or door handle.

Just thinking if it is a Celtic coin to narrow it down to a particular tribe? Title: Re: is this gold Post by: geordiefred on August 31, 2010, 04:24:29 AM Well done Steve that certainly looks a promising find, ;) hope it turns out to be a Celtic coin for you m8 ;D

Title: Re: is this gold Post by: Chef Geoff on August 31, 2010, 05:47:12 PM Steve, gold being nearly twice the weight of lead, a lump of gold thats big should feel unnaturally heavy. What weight is it?
Title: Re: is this gold Post by: ROMAN STEVE on August 31, 2010, 09:49:17 PM it is very heavy considering the size of it but havent got a
tidy weighing scale to weight it |
