A brilliant find of a lifetime sir. Well done indeed. Any chance of a clearer picture as it looks almost perfect and what is the metal mate.

Lovely find Shunggav, did the FLO give any idea of type? not many of those about.
Paul it has to be made of bronze (copper/tin) or it's not a Potin.

Rare as hens teeth mate - a great find. They were made together in strips and snipped off. There was an image in a recent Treasure Hunter of their manufacture

Well done
