Title: YOU NEVER KNOW Post by: Val Beechey on June 02, 2011, 07:39:51 PM I know there have been one or discussions about Cow horn protectors and I've read them with interest. BUT - it never occurred to me that I'd found one till today. Definately I.D'd buy someone who knows.
So I took a couple of pici's to post and then remembered I'd got something, somewhere that was much the same. I dug it out of the grot and YES it's another. And there was me thinking they were door knobs. ::) Val Title: Re: YOU NEVER KNOW Post by: Jassy on June 02, 2011, 08:16:18 PM your not alone Val, we thought they were doorknobs too when we found one!!

I think Eric is right when he says they're more likely to be cow horn protectors. Title: Re: YOU NEVER KNOW Post by: heather on June 03, 2011, 06:03:19 PM cool val !! Ill remember that as I often dig up door handles ! lol, shall have a look now and see if they are cow horn protectors.
