Title: Medieval finds Post by: Mark on December 12, 2009, 06:15:54 PM Hi everyone, thought you might like to see these two medieval artefacts I found recently. The first artefact is a thimble c mid 14th C and the second is a shield shaped harness pendant probably 14th C also. Despite my best endevours I didn't find any hammered with them but I'll be going back soon to clean up. Fingers crossed ;D

Title: Re: Medieval finds Post by: Neil on December 13, 2009, 04:34:47 PM Nice finds Mark - theres more there mate. I have tried to locate the family of the Heraldic Harness Pendent but to no avail! How come you and Johnny seem to find these when we are out - I never get a sniff of one!
Some info below for you from Bennetts and Mills's respective books. The bottom left is the closest I can find to yours. Well done - I'll be in touch for a crimbo swing. cheers Neil |
