Title: I'VE FOUND SILVERRRRRRRRRRR Post by: Dryland on May 03, 2013, 09:51:39 PM I went out for two hours tonight , things started off very slow, only a
couple of signals which turned out to be cans and large bits of iron. The first decent find was a penny then out popped the smallest horseshoe i've ever seen 7 1/2 cm x 7cm. next was a lighter and a small lead bung ? definitely not a musket ball Geoff. Then silence for the next 20 minutes until BEEP a lovely signal 10 inches down was this silver pot full of silt [ the pasture is next to a river which often floods ]. unfortunately the lid was nowhere to be found. The hallmark is M N bros. lion passant, U in shield leopards head. dates to 1895-1896 Title: Re: I'VE FOUND SILVERRRRRRRRRRR Post by: legio11augustus on May 03, 2013, 09:56:57 PM nicely found

horseshoe i've ever seen 7 1/2 cm x 7cm." could be wrong,but not a horses shoe,more like a hobnail shoe ;D Title: Re: I'VE FOUND SILVERRRRRRRRRRR Post by: Dryland on May 04, 2013, 11:46:52 AM Not unless the horse was a skinhead that wore horseshoes ;D ;D
Sir I think you have spoiled my evil plan about spreading the myth of a tiny one legged skinhead horse named Douglas who roamed the welsh countryside looking for his lost hobnail shoe thousands of years ago and can still be heared whinnying today on dark nights after lights out. I really must start taking my medication ;D Title: Re: I'VE FOUND SILVERRRRRRRRRRR Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2013, 12:13:27 PM Lovely piece of silver dryland. I think it's more likely to be the top of a container though.
The horse shoe isn't that unusual. Have a look at the attached pici. How big do you think the ponies feet are.? Well I can tell you, your shoe might be too big for it. ;) Val Title: Re: I'VE FOUND SILVERRRRRRRRRRR Post by: Chef Geoff on May 04, 2013, 03:11:34 PM I've only got two words to say..................................Donkeys and Mules

The silver pot is deeper than it looks in the photo and has a lip on it so definitely the base, Geoff theres no need for language like that ;D ;D Title: Re: I'VE FOUND SILVERRRRRRRRRRR Post by: Dale on May 05, 2013, 12:53:42 PM a lovely bit of silver there dryland id be pleased with that :)
