Title: Couldn't Resist Post by: Val Beechey on September 20, 2014, 09:27:28 PM Just had to find out exactly what was under all that grot so out comes my trusty nail file. Just a little file on the edge and there it was. Gleaming gold in the Sunlight a lovely glimpse of what it would have looked like when it was made (whatever it is) presume the metal is bronze not gold ::)

St. Christopher ;) :oVal Title: Re: Couldn't Resist Post by: Val Beechey on September 21, 2014, 08:53:53 AM Unfortunately Paul, I don't think I'm that lucky. Having said that, I did the same with a lump of black crud from Saundersfoot beach and it turned out to be a Bull Head 6d.
