Title: When is a ring not a ring? Post by: Rees on March 10, 2021, 11:07:48 PM Hi folks,
Out on an area of pasture on Monday with my son in law, I had my Nox 800, he was using his Vanquish 540. Very enjoyable session including a Hammered lizzie 1st 3d, my son in law Turned up what at first glance, while still in the the ground looked like a ring but when out of the plug, clearly was something very different. would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on what it really is. I also unearthed what I think is a ? Roman lead weight, and piece of smooth, pattinated bronze, which looks like a pot leg but is longer than the potlegs I have found in the past. Has anyone come across anything similar ? Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Rees Title: Re: When is a ring not a ring?

Thanks for the reply, that's as likely as anything I can come up with, makes a change from buckles. Cheers Rees Title: Re: When is a ring not a ring?

Just googled pipe tamper as suggested, Not a bad shout, but as mine has a thread at the bottom I think its probably a rein guide as suggested by Geoff. Many thanks.

The screw fits into a fitting near the top of the horses head, Ive got a similar thing but it has a bell and fixing for a plume of feathers. Very much pimp my 'oss |
