Title: Heraldic pendant? Post by: Trys on July 12, 2016, 12:21:29 PM Hello all, have had a break from detecting for the last 3 or so years, but am gradually getting my interest back. Have not yet bought a new machine, but been doing plenty of research and looking through my finds again!!
My last interesting find which I never had ID'ed is this - looks like three lions which is obviously English, but what would that be doing in westest wales!? Title: Re: Heraldic pendant? Post by: marknewbury1 on July 12, 2016, 04:36:05 PM Nice English Civil War invader ???

Check out history of Pembroke castle, Tenby castle. Loads of Civil War activity. Lovely find. Title: Re: Heraldic pendant? Post by: Trys on July 13, 2016, 08:44:04 AM Thanks both. Not sure on the civil war date as I would have thought that this would be a little earlier than that but who knows. It was found about two fields away from a field that is named 'kings meadow' due to Henry vii having set up camp there on his way to Bosworth, but again I would have thought that this would date a little earlier. There were plenty of battles between the Welsh and English so could be from an envading English army in the 12th/13th century!?

Likely it was something to do with the invading English. Title: Re: Heraldic pendant? Post by: onehorseAl( Al) on July 14, 2016, 10:04:56 AM Nice to see you back Trys. :) Al
Title: Re: Heraldic pendant? Post by: Trys on July 14, 2016, 11:42:13 AM Cheers Al :) Not back in the game yet, but will hopefully make a detector purchase in the next few months - Wish I'd never sold the T2! I think it will be another T2 that I end up going for, although some interesting new machines around since I last looked!
Hope you are keeping well and still finding plenty of treasures - please give my regards to all at the club! Trys Title: Re: Heraldic pendant? Post by: congerman on July 16, 2016, 09:44:29 PM interesting find well searched
