Title: Any ideas what this might be? Post by: digemdeep on March 10, 2009, 12:32:56 PM Hi everyone, I found this the other day in a stubble field, and I haven't got a clue what it is. I'm pretty sure it's nothing of importance, it's just the curiosity thing kicking in. All I can tell you is that it's made of brass or bronze, it's about 50mm x 40mm and slightly oval in cross section. It doesn't appear to have been bent into this curve, it looks like the natural shape. I found it in the same area as some lead musket balls. I'd appreciate any suggestions so thanks in anticipation.

I have absolutely no idea what it may be off, I can only think of it having unpleasant uses. Title: Re: Any ideas what this might be? Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on March 10, 2009, 04:02:19 PM Iv'e no idea either, but Welcome to the Forum Digemdeep

Likewise I don't know what it is, looking at the blunt end could that have been a thread or something that's broken off? Richy. Title: Re: Any ideas what this might be? Post by: DIG IT! (ADIE) on March 10, 2009, 06:34:52 PM No that ones got me baffled.Lethal looking thing though! :o

Title: Re: Any ideas what this might be? Post by: digemdeep on March 11, 2009, 11:53:00 AM Wow, thanks for that Charles, I honestly thought it would be too big for a cock fighting spur, that's definately a re-think. Thanks again. ???
