Title: 140513 - rain, what rain? Post by: handyman [Alan} on May 14, 2013, 12:19:16 PM LOl -- well i managed a good mornings detecting before the deluge arrived. Some interesting finds nonetheless.
Most interesting of all is the thimble, made of a very light alloy with the inscription "FORCE ME NOT". Over the past weekend i found another thimble very close by to this one and its made of same light alloy. [see pic below]. A nice crotal bell fragment, the usual buttons and the last signal of all, was a cut half of Henry, [but which one!] So, after a mornings hard work, its now off to the gym, sauna and hottub! Enjoy Title: Re: 140513 - rain, what rain? Post by: Chef Geoff on May 14, 2013, 12:25:44 PM Well done Al, nice little collection. But I got to tell you that one off the commonest motoes on Victorian/Edwardian thimbles was
"FORGET ME NOT" [/i]"Force me not" ::) I give up :D :D :D :D :D Title: Re: 140513 - rain, what rain? Post by: handyman [Alan} on May 14, 2013, 12:29:23 PM pmsl ---- whats a 'motoes'??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;)
