As plan A, B and C have come and gone during the last week, Plan D was put into action today and was basically a last minute decision. A fresh field today greeted  Rob (Tafflaff), Casa dos and Collegwent as I arrived later due to a last minute venue switch and a host of other things on my part. On a mild and warmish day off I set to be met by the deadly trio already in the finds with the pick being a die I think that was for stamping the Kings portrait on something. George 2nd I think and definitely not a coin as it had a slightly concave face with the head and legend in reverse. We had been detecting for about an hour when over the crest of the hill came Rob with the Item I have pictured below. Made of silver I recognised the symbols straight away and knew what it was but I will let Rob tell all when he speaks later. TRUST ME FOLKS HE HAS FOUND AS FAR AS I AM AWARE SOMETHING UNIQUE THAT WILL GO INTO THE TEXT BOOKS  The rest of the day was spent finding coins, thimbles, and again lead by the bucket load and a good assortment of other things. Below is the find of the decade in my eyes. Lok and enjoy.
