Title: Middle ages sundial !! Post by: dingdong on August 11, 2015, 06:28:59 PM Hi all,again this is a find of my detecting mate,he says that it's been identified as a middle ages portable sun dial!!
Well I'm not sure!as I thought it was perhaps a gaming piece!! All I can say is its made of lead,and old lead at that. I welcome all your comments please,and THANKYOU for looking.👍 Title: Re: Middle ages sundial !! Post by: Chainsaw Bampy on August 11, 2015, 07:22:42 PM i would say its deffo a lead washer lol
Title: Re: Middle ages sundial !! Post by: The Doc on August 11, 2015, 07:38:58 PM It could be a crude sundial. There a couple a bit similar on PAS.
On the other hand, could well be a lead washer that someone has scratched a pattern on. Title: Re: Middle ages sundial !! Post by: Chainsaw Bampy on August 11, 2015, 07:41:15 PM see chris could be.lol
Title: Re: Middle ages sundial !! Post by: Val Beechey on August 11, 2015, 07:57:58 PM I think the sections are a bit of a give-away. There's only 9 and I can't see how they could be interpreted as time segments.
As Peter said there are a couple similar on PAS but they are more detailed. Title: Re: Middle ages sundial !!
