Title: Artefact ID
Post by: Andre on March 04, 2017, 10:22:58 PM
Found this today on my permission,went there for just over an hour after work.Its been raining quite heavy and it's so muddy everywhere.The grass is getting high and I am loosing land every week😕
Waiting for the plough...
I think I discarded something today stupidly,amongst a lot of ferrous targets I had this target that i went after and after much plug splitting I found this bit of twisted wire like copper electric wire about 2inches long.I was looking at a book of artefacts at home and I saw some roman twisted wire jewellery and my heart sunk because what I found could have been gold!I should've double checked.I take all the junk with me and chuck it in a corner of the field under a edge so I don't go over it again.Probably was copper but who knows.Gutted with myself

Looks like a winder key from a pocket watch to me, probably 19 century 👍👍👍

If it was gold you would have known, it will not corrode.
