Title: Re: New finds , woof woof Post by: waltonbasinman on March 22, 2009, 03:57:41 PM I am no expert but the ruff around the neck and the hat style i would say Elizabethan but i may be wrong. :-\

Or I could be wrong ;) Title: Re: New finds , woof woof Post by: James on March 22, 2009, 07:49:04 PM nice finds ;)

Good finds Rob - keep up the good work mate Neil Title: Re: New finds , woof woof Post by: waltonbasinman on March 23, 2009, 02:39:05 PM Neil, i think you have hit the nail on the head there. I seem to recall whilst excavating at Croft castle in Herefordshire in 2002 something similar was found and was identified as a walking cane head. I knew i had seen something like it before,
