Title: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: handyman [Alan} on March 31, 2014, 04:38:07 PM enjoy this lot, all from the same field, in a 3 hour spell earlier today.
i think that field has a lot to offer, what with 3 italians and a trumpet brooch, a viccy farthing, georgian ha'penny, and shoe buckle, lead shot, buttons and of course one of my favourites ...... which as soon as i saw it i thought Nobby! enjoy the finds cheers Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: dances with badgers on March 31, 2014, 04:39:05 PM nice al
Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: Dryland on March 31, 2014, 07:00:03 PM Well done Al, let me guess which one reminded you of Nobby ??? ??? ??? no sorry I can't ;D ;D
Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: Val Beechey on March 31, 2014, 07:14:17 PM Yes, as you say, an eclectic mix of goodies. I can see why the bag seal reminded you of a certain Naughty Nobby. ::)
That's the sort of mix I would expect to find in a field that has seen habitation. Unfortunately I haven't had any indication in my new field. So disappointing. I was sure this time I was on a winner. Happy hunting Alan. Val Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: handyman [Alan} on March 31, 2014, 07:20:18 PM lol, i can see why you think its a bag seal ... in fact, if i'd angled the camera you'd have seen a domed shape lead object, possibly a 'gaming counter' or 'weight'.

Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: handyman [Alan} on March 31, 2014, 07:22:32 PM Val I did say don't get downhearted the finds will be there ;) totally agree with you chef, she just got to walk over them!! I suggest a good tracking monitor will help, both Val [& John!!] ;D ;D Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: Chef Geoff on March 31, 2014, 07:25:40 PM No just wait for the earth to be moved ;)
Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: handyman [Alan} on March 31, 2014, 07:28:57 PM lol.... lots of small earthquakes in that area!!! ;D ;D
here's the map of the most recent one! http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/earthquakes/recent_events/bristol_channel_20_feb_2014_felt_locations.jpg (http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/earthquakes/recent_events/bristol_channel_20_feb_2014_felt_locations.jpg) Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: Val Beechey on March 31, 2014, 07:40:03 PM Now I've looked again Alan, isn't it a top off a PRATTS oil tin.? I'm sure I've seen them before. Doesn't Neil (or is it Paul) collect them.
Alan you must be joking. Takes John all his time to walk around the house ::) Geoff, yes you're right, again. I'm just impatient. Praps I could borrow a digger and get things started. ;) If you want to be bored to tears, I've done some reading up on the area and I have some theories of my own. I don't think 'they' always get it right. (neither do I by the look of things) ::) Val Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: handyman [Alan} on March 31, 2014, 07:43:36 PM Pratts were the forerunner of Standard Oil, which is still in existence today, under the phonetic name of ESSO.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Pratt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Pratt) i also collect these little beauties! Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: Chef Geoff on March 31, 2014, 07:44:53 PM You send me as many theories as you like Val I'm here to help (honestly I am) ;)
Title: Re: An eclectic mix, for Val Post by: Val Beechey on March 31, 2014, 07:53:49 PM It's a bit long winded Geoff and involves Phwyll and his first Castle. And anyway I've learned the hard way 'They' Don't tend to take any notice of what the likes of you and I think. They've got it all worked out and written down in a little Bible.
