Title: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 22, 2017, 03:53:47 PM Hi Guys.
On one of my permissions in west Wales this weekend I had a good signal so dug and checked the hole until I realised that whatever was in there had popped out. I searched the soil and ground and my pin pointer was going crazy but I couldn't see what was there as I was looking for something small. I then saw what I first thought was a stone/pebble of some type but when I picked it up it was really heavy and set my pin pointer off. I do not have a clue what it is or possibly was so can anyone on here help ?? Cheers Title: Re: What have i found ?????????

Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 23, 2017, 12:47:40 PM Thanks mate, I'm well chuffed with it. Gonna post some more images soon.
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 23, 2017, 02:00:25 PM Hi Guys.
Here's some more pics of the "pendant". the first is when I dug it out and the second is a close up of what is some type of symbol ?? It looks like a 4 which made me think it wasn't old firstly but we in this time can recognise that shape but after doing some research there were medieval alchemy symbols which are the same in shape as our modern day number 4. Let me know your thoughts. thanks. Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 23, 2017, 02:06:14 PM Here are the images .

Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: The Doc on May 24, 2017, 07:28:54 PM Not sure what this is, but it's not a medieval pendant - much too big.
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 25, 2017, 04:55:12 PM Ah thanks doc you've burst my bubble now !! ;D I thought that asnit really heavy for a person to wear so I did think it could've been work by a horse ??
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: Radnor Bandit (Ian) on May 25, 2017, 09:53:20 PM Looks like a bit of old flat iron
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 25, 2017, 10:45:38 PM 2 out of 3. Old and flat, well it's an inch thick but it's not iron :-\
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: Greg on May 26, 2017, 08:23:53 AM Not quite the correct shape, but could it be a hand guard, I think I can see a small indent on the flat side.
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 26, 2017, 08:35:02 AM Hiya Greg.
There is an indentation on the one side within the indentation there's a shape that looks like a triangle. Thanks Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: dingdong on May 26, 2017, 03:19:14 PM Hi ya S12aun...... I think I can now safely say that beyond all doubt that what you found is a
UFO.... 👽..(unidentified found object)...sorry mate couldn't resist it ...,good hunting..👍 Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 26, 2017, 03:29:04 PM 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: Val Beechey on May 26, 2017, 08:14:38 PM Do a google search for Antique Flat Irons. There's plenty to look at and they come in all sizes. I'm sure you'll be convinced that your UFO is the base of one.
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: handyman [Alan} on May 27, 2017, 07:23:31 AM I was fooled by the size of the object [which wasn't immediately apparent when i quickly looked at the posted image].
now i,m happy to agree with those who suggest flat irons. Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: dingdong on May 27, 2017, 03:27:44 PM Yet further to your UFO !!!
The object that you detected is from a headman of a Nomadic tribal prince called Ennie.. The object was placed on the "princes" chest in the last few hours of his life. During this time all the rest of the tribe would be gathered around him and sing the following lament "Ennieoldiein,Ennieoldiein,Ennie,Ennie,ennieoldien...!!🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵...😂😂😂😂!!ll Title: Re: What have i found ?????????

Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: Andre on May 28, 2017, 10:53:19 PM I found this one on google,it shows the size of a pendent
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: dingdong on May 28, 2017, 11:48:48 PM Congratulations Andrea,great heraldic mount..."back of the net,"...100% +...👍
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: Andre on May 29, 2017, 07:26:15 AM No dingdong,I wish it was me,this is an example I've found on google to show the size of a pendent🙂Maybe one day,it's on the wish list...
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: dingdong on May 29, 2017, 08:12:20 AM Woops !!!lol....sorry mate,..I should have gone to specsavers !!!👓..👍
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on May 29, 2017, 10:50:06 PM Thanks for all your input but I've made my own conclusion regarding said UFO. I believe it to be a slice of fossilised birthday cake from the prehistoric era and I conclude that it was probable that it was a cave child's 4th birthday hence the presence of the marking which resembles the modern day number 4.
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: Val Beechey on May 29, 2017, 11:14:42 PM A slice of disappointment nicely swallowed. We've all been there :'(
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: dingdong on May 29, 2017, 11:29:31 PM Hey Andre, apology's mate,can't understand how I was soooo wrong.lol😋..good hunting mate..👍
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: probono on June 04, 2017, 08:34:51 PM It's definitely a bit of an iron - I found one a few years back - it got heated up and then put in the iron proper.
Title: Re: What have i found ????????? Post by: s12aun on June 10, 2017, 04:40:33 PM The FLO couldn't give an id on it but it's all good !
