Hi there had this hammered yesterday , I gather its an eddy penny but was wondering if you could pin me some more details down , also the strange bottle cap? Not a clue what it is though the symbolism on the top looks vaguely Alchemical (if thats even a word)  

As always any help is appreciated

ps the weird thing has a diameter comparable of a pound coin (never find a ruler when i need one  ???)

Nice finds Rob,could the bottle top/ cap badge be a seal if you turn the image around and mirror it it looks like R L and a symbol,nice Eddy too  :)

R L are my initials , that weird.  :o

great finds m8 well done ;)

Nice finds Rob. The hammered is Edward I, probably Class 10ab, London mint.

I think Simon is right, the artefact looks like a seal matrix of some sort. I don't know what the symbol represents.

Nice finds m8 well done :)

Well that is just 55 ???. I've often heard and used the saying a find has my name on it, but this is the first time I've seen one that literally does.
So come on all you witches and wizards what is the symbol? here it is inverted.

well done rob, some very interesting finds indeed.

keep up the good work

Well done Rob nice find........ spooky ;D

well done Rob nice finds mate 8) 8)

Hi there guys, I thought I'd try out the Seal Matrix today and it works lovely. I still think that finding a Seal Matrix with my initials on it is spooky. I would love to trace who it could be, anyone think the symbolism could be Knights Templer  :D ;D ::)

Tafflaff That is well spooky  would love to know who it belonged to

Taff considering the condition of all the other copper items we found, I think it is in too good a nick to be more than a few  hundred years old. It is still way interesting and weird how your initials are on it. I still think your right with the alchemical angle.

rob,once again well done brilliant finds you really are on a roll another nice hammered and i really do like the matrix seal.viv

a fantastic find rob, still waiting to find one myself mickycoin mick ;D ;D

That impression looks great. I wonder if it is made up of a mixture of letters. This, although obviously of different construction, is possibly a bit of a similar design:

it looks like r,w,l to me and possibly a anchor, nautical, captain perhaps? Awsome to find something that thas the same initatils though. loverly find.

I'll record it with Mark Lodwick .

Well I've spent a lot of time today trying to trace this seal but nothing yet  :'(  How common place would they have been ? would everyday people own them ?

i would go nautical as well,it has that sort of feel to it...

Nice pair of finds there mate. not sure about seal being nautical....looks more like a religious theme to me. thats just my guess though and ive been known to be wrong many times.
still well done fella  ;)

ive been known to be way off target,even had good finds in the junk box, but the beauty is you never stop learning...

Is this getting any closer?
