Title: Welsh religious token ?? Post by: Twpsyn on September 26, 2015, 12:18:59 PM Found this yesterday on a field i haven't had access to until the grass was cut, a very quiet field, a few unidentifiable copper coins, nothing but background chatter and slight mineralisation, but this thing was found about 8"down , about 2m from a gate
Religious token of some sort, anyone know what this is, or who the person is My Welsh is not the best I know the complete words here but can anyone fill in the gaps on the missing letters and translate please, hopefully the pics let you see what's written Thanks Title: Re: Welsh religious token ??

The English version reads "Search the scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life and these are they which testify of me. Jesus Christ" Title: Re: Welsh religious token ??
