Title: What was under the dirt ? Help Peter Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on February 17, 2014, 10:29:10 PM Well I was interested in one of my lumps of what I thought was iron. After careful cleaning I saw what looked like gold coming through. Carefully using my dremil, an acid dip and a cocktail stick with some renaissance wax on it this little beauty popped up.
Any ideas . . . . . . . . . (http://www.archeurope.com/uploads/images/Anglo-Saxon/Alfred%20Jewel/The%20Alfred%20Jewel%2002%20(small).jpg) Title: Re: What was under the dirt ? Help Peter Post by: legio11augustus on February 17, 2014, 10:32:02 PM found near athelney taff?
