Title: I.D. please Post by: Andre on July 02, 2017, 07:05:17 PM Hi all,just found this items this afternoon,on my new permission parallel to a roman road.
Would like to know what type of copper nail is that,a three holed button and that artefact about the size of a penny,so incrustated that I'm scared of cleaning it...don't want to damage it. Title: Re: I.D. please Post by: Andre on July 02, 2017, 09:20:11 PM More pics...
I do my posts with my iPhone and sometimes can't post properly.. Title: Re: I.D. please Post by: Resurgam on July 03, 2017, 06:09:44 PM Hi Andre,
I can't help much, I'm afraid but I often find square shanked copper maritime nails on my regular beach but understand that very similar nails were used for wooden buildings inland. I don't think that the item with the three holes is actually a button but for some reason it looks strangely familiar. Title: Re: I.D. please Post by: Andre on July 03, 2017, 07:04:24 PM It's ok,not very easy to identify anyway.
As for the round ornate items one of them I was wondering if it could be a plate brooch of any era.. What's the best way to dislodge dirt without damaging artefacts,ultrasound? Title: Re: I.D. please Post by: Resurgam on July 03, 2017, 09:43:11 PM I do use a small ultrasound bath for cleaning some objects but find that it is only any good for removing light crud. If you do go down that road I would suggest using distilled water and not nasty tap water, that is mostly chlorinated.
I have even wondered if it is perhaps worth using a light oil for cleaning items in my ultrasound bath. I'm sure that someone will be along soon, with plenty of advice for both of us. Chris :) Title: Re: I.D. please Post by: Val Beechey on July 03, 2017, 09:53:30 PM Some really interesting finds there Andre. Have a look on UK Detector Finds There are a few that look similar.
I was interested in the hinged 'buckle' but then decided it was probably a clasp. Never seen one like it, very nice finds. Title: Re: I.D. please Post by: Andre on July 04, 2017, 02:15:02 AM Thanks guys,this finds are coming out of a little field,smaller than a football pitch,middle of two country lanes.The farmer did the 2nd cut the other day so I went there because all my other fields have crops on them,I get my car on the field so no need for rucksacks and I have been very thorough.I emails some pics to my FLO,see what she comes up with 👍

She said that she looked at a book by G. Bailey,buttons and fasteners,500bc- She said that she saw some similar to mine from the 1700's Title: Re: I.D. please Post by: dingdong on July 05, 2017, 11:38:38 PM Great update André thanks for putting up the information... continued good hunting..👍
