Title: no gold today only silver
Post by: zorro on February 24, 2010, 07:02:44 PM
Some of todays finds from a new farm we, me and Beachboy, just had permission to detect on.
coins:
1 bottom left George V penny, 1914
2 bottom right Victoria penny, 1897
3 young Victoria groat (four pence) 184?

above, furniture handle, probably Georgan.
BUT
any guesses as to what the bar is at the bottom of pic?
all will be revealed later, and no its not part of a hinge

Thats a cracking mystery object. The front looks like you should puse your lips to it and the semi circle is normally found on whistles. Does the bottom piece come off? Have you tried blowing it?

I think the end may come off as well.

Neil whistle works fine,as i say, it drives next doors dog bonkers  ;D, very high pitch sound.
there is a screw holding the silver whistle to its end, i have tried to unscrew it gently but the screw head looks as if it will break away so left it.
i really thought it was a broken hinge bar at first....just goes to show.

Blast, i'm too late for that, lol,  i knew what it was,  i found one a few years ago,


Title: Re: no gold today only silver
Post by: zorro on February 25, 2010, 09:27:49 AM
Alan doe the one you found make a high pitched sound?
my thought was a sheep dog whistle, but there hasnt been any sheep on this farm so was wondering if it could be a hawking whistle. any thoughts?


Title: Re: no gold today only silver
Post by: Junkman on February 25, 2010, 10:00:30 AM
That's funny as I was going to suggest a whistle as I could see a suspension loop at one end and obviousely a cap that came off the other end. Then I thought it looked too thin for a whistle :-\ :-\
