Title: DW Grand Daddy !! Post by: ancientpat on August 25, 2016, 03:17:05 PM I was looking at members profiles and updated my own with my birth date and being curious I had a look at other members date of birth and unless I am wrong it appears that I am the most Ancient at 85 !!! I am looking forward to Sundays rally and can remember finding a cartwheel penny on the first DW rally in the Vale near Cowbridge.
Cheers Pat ;) ;) Title: Re: DW Grand Daddy !! Post by: wagis on August 25, 2016, 07:13:20 PM Nice one Ancientpat you make me feel a positive youngster at 65, it is really good to hear of someone your age still going strong. Be proud of yourself.

See you soon Neil (up very early thanks to my boy!) Title: Re: DW Grand Daddy !! Post by: ancientpat on August 29, 2016, 03:26:42 PM Hi Neil,
I enjoyed the day at Gileston and our chat also. I have cleaned up the silver thimble which has the words "LOVE VERTUE" note the spelling and so far the only one on line that I have found is a brass one with the same words and they class it as Jacobean 1600's.I will send a picture of it to Brian Read who has just written a book on thimbles. I didn't come across Taff yesterday at the rally.I hope your boy is going to be a detectorist too!! Never too soon to start. Cheers Pat ;) ;) |
