Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Chef Geoff on August 24, 2013, 07:00:21 AM Unusual is right....Is it the same back and front or is it flat on the back? also are there any signs of attachment points on it?

Either that or you found a bronze/iron age torque. Wouldn't that be nice. :o ;D Val Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Chef Geoff on August 24, 2013, 08:00:13 AM It's only 65mm Val ???
Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Dale on August 24, 2013, 08:38:52 AM I might not being very thoughtful but I would say some thing like a bridle check ring, what has worn through over the years of use, the item looks to have once been a loop/ring what has worn thin. I don't think it was made to look like that.....?
Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Val Beechey on August 24, 2013, 09:24:50 AM Well it could have been a nose ring ::) wonder if they made them ?
Dale could be on to something but I think it's a bit small for that as well. Be interesting to see what the PAS make of it. Val Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Jassy on August 24, 2013, 10:40:24 AM Same both sides Geoff , I have found something similar in way of a Viking bracelet found on the Shetland isles, it is the exact same design but the Viking ones are made out of something else. Will find the link to the pic.

The pic is of Viking ring money, the Design on mine is identical to the one at the bottom of the pic. Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Chef Geoff on August 24, 2013, 10:59:26 AM I see the similarity though Viking ring money was Silver ???
Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Jassy on August 24, 2013, 11:02:38 AM Yes I don't think it's that! But handy to illustrate shape!:)
Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Pon on August 24, 2013, 01:03:37 PM It's only 65mm Val ??? Could be a really small slave? ::)Title: Re: An unusual beach find for i.d Post by: Dale on August 24, 2013, 04:02:24 PM I know Jessy item is the one in question but I just want to show a check piece I found with the loop worn right through just leaving the two pointed ends with the middle completely missing, its the artefact what gave me the idea :-\
also a picture to show where I think Jessy item sat........ ??? |
