Hi Beach Hunter 10,very difficult to actually date what is surely a stone bead by the look of it,these type of beads are normally from JET and are possibly from the early BRONZE AGE,very,very nice eyes only find,lucky old  you,well found.👍

It looks reminiscent of a glass bead to me the pattern could make it Roman but in reality any date since then, it's dating could be reliant on other finds from the same area Wink

Thanks very much  Grin very nice to know. Do you think I should donate it to a museum?  Smiley  neolithic artefacts are displayed in a local museum close by to where the bead was found it was just lying on top of the mud.

Lovely bead Beach Hunter.  Tip.....Ask the neaest lady of the house if she's got some clear nail varnish and paint it.

The fascination never dies.  I've had a thing for unusual stones, fossils and bits of pottery since I was a nipper.  Here's some I've got 'On Display'  in a glass bowl. Always had the intention of turning some into jewellery but never did.
