Title: A few interesting finds on my new permission Post by: BeachHunter101 on February 03, 2022, 05:21:14 PM Hello all, hope you're all well.
Some finds on my new permission - looks very promising ;D An unusual pin? cannot find one similar What i'm presuming is a medieval 13th c? matrix seal but cannot read what it says. A medieval enamel mount? with decoration pilgrims ampulla cannot make the decoration out - maybe a flower? also has some decoration on the back. A medieval pot leg? A large disk of lead with an iron nail/pin a Small copper disk? with what looks to be a hammered top (looks like a wizard hat ::)) Also found a medieval belt mount in the same field(not pictured) Thanks!

The large disc with the lettering appears to say something like MLLER & Co or MILNER & Co, and at the bottom possibly BARRY or DAIRY. Not medieval but does appear to be a seal or stamp of some sort. Where roughly did you find it? (nearest town if possible) Title: Re: A few interesting finds on my new permission Post by: BeachHunter101 on February 06, 2022, 11:01:43 AM Thank you Doc, I found it in the Bridgend area. Roughly how old do you think the seal is? Thanks again :)

Well done Neil Title: Re: A few interesting finds on my new permission Post by: BeachHunter101 on February 07, 2022, 03:50:09 PM Thank you very much Neil, I will check if there’s a letter. Thank you for the info
