Title: A few bits, possible blade? and A ring? Post by: BeachHunter101 on March 30, 2019, 04:20:35 PM The ring is super thin and brittle, I'm wondering how it survived! could it be a finger ring?
The unusual blade item is still sharp, I cannot think what it could be. I haven't a clue what the other item is, could it be a more modern drawer handle or something completely different? any ID's would be much appreciated ;D Thank you!

Hubby suggests the first item could be a gate latch but I’m not convinced. I see you’ve got a few buttons as well. Sure to be something nice in amongst the other bits. Hammy next time h ;) Title: Re: A few bits, possible blade? and A ring? Post by: BeachHunter101 on April 01, 2019, 04:18:58 PM Thanks Doc! ;D
Thank you Val, Yes I got a few buttons, including a nice silver gilt one. I also got a lead seal from London, some more musket balls, a few Victoria and Georgian coins the earliest being a George II, and one Irish Hibernia halfpenny. They are all in bad condition the ground hasn't been kind to them unfortunately but it's still really nice to find them ;D and yes I would love to find a hammered still on my bucket list 8) ;) |
