Title: Re: out with llanelli m.d.c today Post by: mickycoin "mick" on April 18, 2011, 08:29:19 AM thanks for your interest "geordeifred" it was much appreciated thankyou, its only the 2nd one found in our club over the 12 years its been running, so there not a common find, the other was found by "zorro" kev in england a few years back so kev if you read this add a picture of yours to see if they have the same pattern, as iv been informed there are a few types they came about around 1575 so could be a bit of age to itThanks again geordeifred for your reply good hunting to you mickycoin ;D ;D
Title: Re: out with llanelli m.d.c today Post by: romano-brit on April 18, 2011, 09:22:43 AM nice finds there
the snake buckle things date from the 16th cent to the 19th cent so it could be from any time, but my guess would be 19th cent Title: Re: out with llanelli m.d.c today Post by: rjm on April 18, 2011, 11:12:09 AM Snake buckles are always nice to find. That silver St. Christopher belongs to Gethin. I do hope he gets it back! ;) Title: Re: out with llanelli m.d.c today Post by: mickycoin "mick" on April 18, 2011, 12:58:11 PM hi r.j.m its a gold st christopher, and the farmer was asked if it belonged to anyone on that farm, no one there with the name gethin, someone using the footpath through the land probably lost it so he said to keep it thanks for your concern and reply, and for your information also romano-brit much appreciated mickycoin ;D ;D

snake shaped buckles have been used since celtic times unfortunately, like mine, ours isnt that old....shame! still a cracking find and great to hear Dylan is still finding coins. if he finds a gold hammered before me though im going to ask that he gets banned from the club ;) Title: Re: out with llanelli m.d.c today Post by: mickycoin "mick" on April 20, 2011, 11:33:24 AM hi kev thanks for the reply, yes join the que if he finds gold, wouldnt that be somthing ::) ::) its down also to the help in what machine would be ok for him, regarding his size, and not to hard to understand, the price, etc, there was alot of help from members on this site, so a thanks to all that suggested the garret 250 for him, thanks also for coming monday kev hope your feeling better, yes if you can post the buckle that would be great mickycoin ;D ;D
