Title: Med 1 Field Post by: celticspikey on November 04, 2017, 10:36:31 AM Hi guys I would appreciate some ID and age on these artefacts from my Med 1 field. The stylus has a nib that looks to have been used with ink but has a good age to it. The silver object looks like a furell it measures 1.5 cm. The buckle type artefact looks Saxon? I am not sure but I have seen something similar before somewhere.

Like you I’ve seen something similar to pic no.1 I remember thinking it looked like a spanner. Can’t remember if it was ID’d though.

Thats a good shout Val on silver item, I don't thing it's of medieval period as for other item may be it was on DW we saw omething like it I'm not sure. ;)Like you I’ve seen something similar to pic no.1 I remember thinking it looked like a spanner.
