Title: Bronze Ingot? Post by: simond on August 24, 2017, 04:09:06 PM Hi all found these last night plus the odd bits of slag. I didn't think much of then until after cleaning noticed the "X" shaped stamps on them and also the pinched ends. All I can think of is copper or bronze ingots, any ideas? ;D
