Lead Easter Egg!

Thanks Geoff I'm very pleased with it, I don't know if it's the black sand and clay that preserves them there, here's another I found a while back around the ballast stones, brass farthing token Robert Ugden Somerset 1666.

[Chef Geoff]

Oh now that's a bit special and I bet not many of those are found on beaches, I guess if finds manage to make it into the clay then as on land they are almost hermetically sealed

Minehead obviously from the cross channel trade that went on

[StumbledUpon]

I think so to Geoff, here's a early pilgrim's badge with pin,

off Swansea bay,

wow you have had some luck!

[StumbledUpon]

Found that a while ago Matthew 

[Chef Geoff]

OK stop showing off lol Is it associated with St Davids? Funny enough I was chatting to a customer from Pembroke the other day and he's found about half a dozen pilgrim's Ampulla in the last two years over that way, I on the other hand have found a broken piece of ampulla and not a sniff of a badge but then I'm still a newby

[StumbledUpon]

It could be the pilgrims way to St Davids, I do know of another two badges to come off the bay, but it's luck and being in the right part, Swansea bay is few miles from the marina to the mumbles, If your down this way I'll take you over Geoff 

[Chef Geoff]

Thanks Max I'll hold you to that
I just had a quick look at it's pretty similar to the Thomas Becket badge from Canterbury maybe they were doing the Cooks "Pilgrim" tour lol

[ARTIO]

Some lovely finds there Max. Well done 

[Val Beechey]

Some very nice finds being shown. 
It's worth bearing in mind that the water line was much further out 400 years ago so some parts of the Pilgrims Way, that is now beach, would have been land back then.
