Hi Skip welcome aboard  ;) when your sending a post  just click additional options underneath the message box, then browse and select your picture from the file on your computer. Make sure you open the picture with paint box & resize your picture as it will be too big, change it from 100 to 30. You'll soon get the hang of it m8.
cheers  ;D

Welcome aboard Sskipper ;D. That is a lovely coin, as Neil and I were discussing they were thought to have been issued as a way of paying your way into heavan, so I guess that rules me out of ever finding one :(

They're are not coins guys. I don't think that was me Geoff, unless it was the Vodka talking.

Threads were passed throgh the middle of them to secure Papal documents from the Vatican.

Cheers

Yes it was vodka night ;D
What I mean is, if you gave alms to the church in any quantity you would receive a document stating the fact and blessing you. The seal which could be made of gold (from Rome) was often kept as a good luck token for the afterlife.

Oops, I should have identified what I am holding in the picture. It is, actually, a Papal Bulla from Clement IV 1265 - 1268. Some good eyes out there. Thanks for your kind words. Here are a couple of close-up pictures of it. I found it up near Hunstanton. It measures about 1 1/2" in diameter. From what I've read, it did have a cord running through it to attach it to a document, to prove it was from the Vatican. Skip

The two faces were a dead give away Nobby - plus the fact that I have wanted to find one since I started detecting.  ::)

Lovely find sskippers - you must have been really pleased when that came out.

Great post

Yes, Neil, I was happy, but didn't know what I had. I knew it was definitely better than a sharp stick in the eye, but had never seen one. An 85 year old metal detectorist told me what it was. Skip
