Title: Today's finds Post by: Andre on May 26, 2017, 07:11:33 PM Been out today on a new permission,pasture,it was boiling and the soil rock hard but still gave it a go.The coppers came out with a good patina,chuffed with the florin and the six pence,they were my first ones so I wanted to show them.
On my other permissions the coppers came all destroyed.Theres a little bracelet and a little brass poppy shaped thing and some copper wire wond up with more wire, Does anyone know what vintage they are,thanks Title: Re: Today's finds Post by: Andre on May 26, 2017, 07:21:07 PM Forgot this pics

wires and insulators were used. Looks more railway telegraph than GPO. Title: Re: Today's finds Post by: Resurgam on May 27, 2017, 06:42:21 AM Well done Andre, I hope you had plenty of suncream on.

Lovely day Title: Re: Today's finds Post by: Andre on May 27, 2017, 05:55:27 PM It looks a lot older than telegraphic wires,I've seen pictures of roman bracelets with windup bronze wire.the permission is near a roman tile factory,so I'm hoping to find stuff of that vintage.
I've never found a roman coin anywhere |
