Well done on the Denarii Chef - its a great feeling to find one.

Out of curiosity - what is the key shaped thing next to it? I recognise it but for the life of me can't remember what it is.

Sounds like a good day out - well done lads.

Cheers

Your guess is as good as mine Neil, I'm the same as you in that it looks familiar but I just can't place it. I don't think it's that old despite the patina as it's been cast and all of the old Medieval keys I've found have been hand forged, also the more I look at it the more I think it is the working end of something and not the handle that I first thought.

It's a slide lock key, probably 9th to 11th century, and a very nice find, see here:

I knew I had seen it somewhere! Shocked

Went through my Saxon and Viking book to no avail and even flicked through a few Treasure Hunters last night! Very well ID'd Peter - even if you did miss it in the first photo! Grin Wink

Great find Geoff!

Now put a post up of your Roman locking pin as well from a few weeks ago as I am sure thats what it was.
