Title: any ideas??? Post by: Duggy on August 17, 2011, 09:36:51 PM Me and my dad decided to go metal detecting near Caerleon golf course, and i found a large spike, not sure what metal it is, but it came up as non-ferrous on the detector, and we found it near a sort of kiln/furnace built into an old, hollow tree (which i'll take a picture of next time i go up there 8) ). Any suggestions would be appreciated, and thanks in advance :)!

If its hollow it can show as non-ferrous sometimes, especially if the iron is very rusty. Otherwise, its a roman spear without the tip. Eric Title: Re: any ideas??? Post by: mark74 on September 10, 2011, 11:54:20 PM Looks like a turd.bit of a clencher at the cut off point.
