Title: My Best Find Today Post by: Val Beechey on April 23, 2016, 08:49:02 PM Confirmed. It is Neolithic circa 3500 years old. To me this is better then a gold or Hammered coin.
Would have been nice if it had been whole but maybe then it wouldn't have been thrown away. Title: Re: My Best Find Today Post by: The Doc on April 23, 2016, 10:12:39 PM Wow, well done Val, that's a great find :)

Title: Re: My Best Find Today Post by: Val Beechey on April 24, 2016, 08:19:11 PM Thanks for the comments guys. Couldn't believe my eyes when I picked it up and saw the shape and felt how smooth it is. I instantly knew what it was and was literally awestruck.
Find of a life time I reckon. Sounds daft, I know but there are probably more gold coins around than polished Neolithic axes. Even broken ones. Haven't been to the farm since before Xmas so didn't know what to expect. Imagine how pleased I was when I found ploughed, rolled and just seeded fields to play in. Last time I saw them they were full of huge maze stalks. They say timing is everything. It sure was for me. Title: Re: My Best Find Today Post by: Dale on April 24, 2016, 08:32:24 PM Well done Val im very pleased for you stunning find!! That's definitely one for your window sill ;)
Title: Re: My Best Find Today Post by: Val Beechey on April 24, 2016, 10:36:59 PM Hi Dale. Beat you to it. That!s exactly where I put it. ;D looks good with the fossilised Crabs claw.
Most people have nice China ornaments, me, I have fossils. ::) Title: Re: My Best Find Today Post by: probono on April 25, 2016, 09:42:10 AM That's a fantastic find - I read your hammered thread first, and did wonder about what you had put your hammered on.
Those axes are so tactile ! Title: Re: My Best Find Today Post by: hotmill on April 25, 2016, 10:57:33 AM That's special, imagine the world at the time that was in use, amazing!
