Now that's the sort of find I'd like to make. Something with some proper history. You must feel very proud Rob.  Wink Grin

And that's probably more of a thrill than anything else.

I remember going to Jorvik quite a few times when I was younger (as my sister went to york Uni) - my mother caused a bomb scare there by leaving a bag full of knitting behind in the shop.....

Sounds like a quality find. Would be nice if you could post a pic. I wouldn't mind seeing it.

A very special find indeed Rob. You must have been over the moon when you discovered it. It's also great to see it on display in a museum. Thanks Whiteduke for that link.
