Title: find from last yrear Post by: mickycoin "mick" on March 17, 2009, 01:04:30 PM hi found this last year, on a club site it has not been seen by an F.L.O.yet so i am still not 100% what it is, but i have my own idea. its made of bronze? or copper? its 1 &1/4 inches long, by 3/4 inches at its widest point. the hole through it measures 1/2 inch x 1/4 inch it weighs about 1& 1/2 ozs if i manage to put a picture with it its all down to the help of Charles Cater thanks again mick

Congrats on getting the photo on. Neil Title: Re: find from last yrear Post by: Charles Cater on March 17, 2009, 04:10:22 PM Well done Mick. I think that Neil is right, maybe it is off a sword. Could be at the bottom of the handle maybe?
