Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: Val Beechey on September 04, 2011, 02:43:13 PM I have no idea but have a look at one, very similar, that I found.
Some one suggested it may be part of a bomb but never confirmed. Val Title: Re: Not sure about this thing?

Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: Val Beechey on September 04, 2011, 04:25:13 PM Great idea but, naaaa. Cant see it Mick. Mines much too big. :o ::)
Val Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: Chef Geoff on September 04, 2011, 04:53:27 PM Oh yours is totally different Val,but I think he's spot on with Ron's
Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: Mick on September 04, 2011, 05:29:28 PM Val,Yours is it sort of old shape of tarpaulin eyelets ;D
Probably handmade Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: hyperon on September 04, 2011, 09:16:52 PM Well,
it could be the umbrella answer, here's another pic or two. Initially I thought it may have come from a rifle, as there is what I thought was a sight marker on it - but it sounds more realistic being an umbrella - The bubble has been burst now ;) (http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h387/tcdsalvage/Detector%20Finds/P1020423-1.jpg) (http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h387/tcdsalvage/Detector%20Finds/P1020450.jpg) Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: The Doc on September 04, 2011, 09:59:06 PM I agree with the umbrella :)
Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: wayne on September 05, 2011, 12:19:07 AM the colour and oxidisation suggest aluminum type alloy, the umbrella thing looks like a powerful argument.
Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: Jon1987 on September 05, 2011, 12:54:18 AM Iv had a couple of them and have always been told they come from an umbrella. I really hope they do because they went in the scrap bucket long ago :)
Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: Solas The Scot on September 06, 2011, 06:03:19 PM As Mick says, tarpaulin eyelet.
Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: bajero on September 06, 2011, 07:32:13 PM The umbrella theory is quite convincing and has solved one more mystery,found several over the years and initially put them down to parts off old farm machinery.The tarp eyelets are a continuous double flange flange. :)
Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: Humfrey on September 06, 2011, 08:39:21 PM i found 16 of these in one very small field ... must of been an umbrella graveyard...
i had thought they were eyelets from some sort of horse things as i also found allot of other horse brass in the same field Title: Re: Not sure about this thing? Post by: rhyso on September 07, 2011, 11:31:20 PM came across 2 of these in one hole outside a ruined, 19th century farmstead, well off beaten track so I'm not so sure :-\ :-\ 2 umbrellas maybe!?
