Well todays the anniversary of when Gary Sobers hit 6 sixes in Swansea. The first person to do so and i had the pleasure of being there to witness it. A great experience for a 12 year old youngster.

And so to today, a couple of nice finds for you to enjoy, including my very first copper ring. I guess dating such an item is nigh on impossible.

Enjoy
