Title: Strange object ID please Post by: charlieboy on May 15, 2011, 08:22:13 PM Hi All
Found this strange object, with a 'mysterious' inscription whilst detecting on pasture today. Anyone got an idea what it is? I'm completely stumped. ??? Hope you can help Thanks Charlie Title: Re: Strange object ID please Post by: Meatslicer on May 15, 2011, 08:26:50 PM Is it metal or pottery?
Looks like a pastry pattern. Eric Title: Re: Strange object ID please Post by: charlieboy on May 15, 2011, 08:30:00 PM Hi Eric
It's metal (think it's bronze but not certain) found approx 6 inches below surface. Cheers Charlie Title: Re: Strange object ID please Post by: The Doc on May 15, 2011, 08:34:57 PM The mark is a registration diamond. I don't know what the object is, but the mark dates it to the Victorian period. Guide to decoding here:
