I found this yesterday at the rally. Is it a pipe bowl or something else. Any ideas, peeps?
It's a silvery metal with a lip on one side and a ridge running up the opposite side. Sorry for the poor quality pics, camera phone.
Great day out and well done everybody on some fantastic finds

found a few bits and mostly junk myself but swa a beatiful hammered come up at 4.20.pm for kyle after he had just found his first 2 minutes before a cut half. after seeing his full coin ithink this was a rarer king and mint norman era stephen perhaps type penny so look out for its pics .
great day meeting loads of peeps.
