Thought I would ask members what there oldest find is as I have seen some cracking finds on this site, mine is a early Bronze Age copper flat axe head 2400bc-2200bc not as nice as some axe heads I've seen on here but I'll keep looking :)

Brilliant! I take every opportunity at showing my spear (ooh misses)  middle to late BA 1450-900BC....talk about living on past glories  ;D ;D

My oldest detecting finds, Iron age bucket mount and a bit of Bronze age spear, (not as good as Geoffs  :'( )

I found a similar age item in the field next door so I am assuming the ID below is correct?

"A cast copper-alloy moustache-shaped object, believed to be a scabbard chape of a type first made circa 1000 BC. There is a deep rectangular recess on the inside, possibly created to house the tip of a blade without causing damage."

Echinoid's 250 million years old, give or take a couple of years.  ;D

Cool - I like those - I got a flint one from up Hull way (on the beach), but those are nice :) - are they from your garden or out and about?

Late Bronze age date (950-750 BC)..

This is mine lol

 Sorry forgot abuot this one  ::)Late Neolithic (3000-2500 BCE)

Wow that's the worst case of gum disease I've ever seen ;D ;D

The oldest thing I've found is this flint scapper.

It's 150,0001years 14weeks and 3days old.

I can age it so accurately because whan I found it the FLO told me it was 150,000 years old,

and I've had it for 1year 14 weeks and 3 days. ;D ;Dhttp://

Forgot I even had this lot in the shed until now.

 :) my old Roman plate

wow great finds all

my oldest is this one i cant remember what date it was but i think it's 1500bc

wow napoleon that find is very very nice mate.

There in the garden now, but I have several fields covered in thousands of them, on top of a hill in the Cotswolds. Guess it used to be at the bottom of the sea at some time, probably 250 million years ago + 2 days  ;D
