Title: Tudor dress pin Post by: spaceonwhite on January 21, 2019, 09:04:11 PM Had a dig at a rally over in Wiltshire on the weekend and pulled up this beautiful Tudor dress pin. It must have taken some time to make these. I've made contact with my FLO so wanted to get some nice pictures as I doubt I'll get to keep it but still so pleased to have found it ;D
I also helped a guy dig a hoard of Roman pewter plates. 7 in total but they had corroded quite a bit unfortunately. Took 2 hours to dig out but was such an enjoyable experience! Just a great hobby!!!

There’s always a chance you’ll get it back after recording. Many smaller items are returned. Fingers crossed. Nice one for the collection ;D Title: Re: Tudor dress pin Post by: spaceonwhite on January 22, 2019, 04:45:24 PM Would be lovely to get to keep it but we'll see! Fingers crossed!

Title: Re: Tudor dress pin Post by: JBM on January 30, 2019, 09:02:42 AM These pop up every so often.
Most are silver, but are still often returned to the owner/finder. The last one I gave to the farmer after its return. Title: Re: Tudor dress pin Post by: probono on January 30, 2019, 10:05:27 AM Great photos - nice find :)
Any photos of the plates as well - they're interesting too :) Title: Re: Tudor dress pin Post by: Neil on January 31, 2019, 01:48:18 PM Great fine - The bend is deliberate and I think you will find they are meant to be worn in the hair.
The attached are not the same but give you an idea of what I mean. Title: Re: Tudor dress pin Post by: Val Beechey on January 31, 2019, 02:00:25 PM Thanks for the elaboration Neil. Must be telepathy. I looked at it again last night and wondered how it could have been used on Tudor clothes.
Still not sure why the pin would be bent though ! Title: Re: Tudor dress pin Post by: Neil on January 31, 2019, 02:06:04 PM Another
Title: Re: Tudor dress pin Post by: Val Beechey on January 31, 2019, 02:17:48 PM Thanks Neil. Explains why so many are found. Not by me unfortunately :'(
