Title: Loop of wire? Post by: Smoo on August 16, 2015, 03:55:16 PM Hi All,
Had an hour out on a local permission last night and turned this up, actually close to the possible horse harness. When it came out of the ground with soil holding it together, I thought it was just a loop of wire, now I'm not to sure. It appears to be uniform in shape and seems to have metal remains on the outer loop on the base, could be a possible brooch? Hope that one of the experts can shed some light on this for me. Thank Smoo Title: Re: Loop of wire? Post by: Chef Geoff on August 16, 2015, 04:16:38 PM Hi Smoo yes your suspicions are correct it's a Victorian love knot brooch ;)

Title: Re: Loop of wire? Post by: Smoo on August 19, 2015, 08:03:33 AM That's an idea Val but it is also very widening as I tend to be the one who eats it all, I know more restraint is in order but its so nice. :)
I've been able to get out for an 1hr - 1hr 1/2 most nights this last week, been fortunate to pick up some nice little finds. I put my finds into sectioned plastic box's, one for each farm and I now have one for the latest field as so much is coming out of it (not all good though). Title: Re: Loop of wire? Post by: Val Beechey on August 19, 2015, 08:43:07 AM That's what I used to do Smoo. Ice cream tubs for each field, just in case the Farmer wanted to see what I'd found. I ended up with tubs everywhere and was never asked about the finds.
Eventually, when I was laid up by thrombosis for 3 months last year, I had a sort out. I now have far fewer tubs with just 1 for specific items. It's amazing though that I can still remember where I found the 'nicer' things, even 5 years on. |
