Title: Bronze age spear head Post by: wagis on July 25, 2016, 09:12:15 PM Hi all, managed 2 hours out yesterday on a new small field before the rains started, found a bronze age spear head about 4 inches long and some other strange bits particularly the heavily patterned piece that is about 1 inch long but no idea what except I think its silver

Keep them coming - more to be found there without a shadow of doubt. Cheers Neil Title: Re: Bronze age spear head Post by: Dungbeetle on July 25, 2016, 09:35:45 PM Nice finds there George, another treasure case for you.

Title: Re: Bronze age spear head Post by: celticspikey on July 26, 2016, 09:03:34 AM Excellent search Wagis, an exciting field with great history. Love the spear head, but the silver strap end takes pride of place, I'm with Neil, looks like it could be Saxon period may be from the continent :-\ :-\. Thanks for posting. ;)

Title: Re: Bronze age spear head Post by: scara on July 26, 2016, 11:23:15 AM I can only echo what has already been said, the spearhead lovely, the strap end beautiful and would agree although I am no expert certainly looks Saxon to me.

Title: Re: Bronze age spear head Post by: wagis on July 26, 2016, 06:13:01 PM Thanks for all the nice comments everyone, I informed the FLO this morning about the strap end in case it is declared treasure, unfortunately I won't be able to go back on that field for a while as the grass is growing fast making it difficult to swing low to the ground.
