Title: any ideas? Post by: monkeymad on May 09, 2013, 09:59:34 PM found this today, anyone any ideas? i dont think its too old but i nearly had a heart attack when i was digging it as i saw gold. :D
my guess is its some sort of cart decoration or decorative metal border?

If it is cast iron; I think that it may be a piece of decorative work from a gas fire surround; but then, I could be very wrong!
I bet you thought it was part of a Celtic crown, whilst you were still struggling to get it out of the ground. :) Title: Re: any ideas? Post by: monkeymad on May 10, 2013, 08:00:31 AM Nope, its not cast iron. That was one of my thoughts but the shape of it kinda points me away from that.
i did wander something like a gypsy cart? Title: Re: any ideas? Post by: hotmill on May 10, 2013, 09:59:24 AM Could be the edge details of an ornate mirror or item of furniture
