When I first saw Jeff,s artifact, I thought it had a resemblance of Queen Victoria with
a crown on top of her head.Now seeing it cleaned up, I aint got a clue. Don,t think
it,s a letter opener either. One for the experts at the Museum. By the way, all finds
really kept out of my way, zero finds. Gutted. Well done though to all who did find.

Re artefact - break at bottom is old and it's heavy so I'm guessing it is bronze.Been searching round the net but nothing similar so far.

The nearest I've got (And I've got my parachute on in readiness to be shot down in a blaze of smoke, flames and the whailing of air raid sirens and search lights) 

This is a far eastern dagger, what struck me was how thin the stem goes which seems similar to Jeffs.

 Smiley Smiley I think Jeff's artefact maybe of a child who either died in childbirth or under two years old. I've seen a brass in a church many years ago that looked very similar. I suspect that the outer covering is supposed to represent a shroud. Maybe the baby was of a lady of high status who was able to afford someone to make this artefact! I'll be very interested to see what the Museum makes of it! Great find that! Smiley Smiley

I have now had report from the Museum on the artefact. Basically Dr Redknapp thinks it's 18th/19th C although Mark Lodwick still thinks it's earlier - maybe 17th.Probably copper/ or tin/lead alloy weight 96g. They have no idea what it is except that it is probably a handle - maybe a spoon which would be pretty substantial.  So really we aren't any further on!
