Found In A Mole Hill...

[J Darcy 5,871]

Any ideas...it looks copper to me, with hand embossed patterns on each side. I was wondering if it could be a bit of bracelet????

[Outlaw Pete 2,224]

JD; Why would anyone go to the trouble of hand embossing a bracelet on both sides?

 

On line archaeological society?

Looks a good find mate your best bet is to keep location secret get a good metal detector and search around that area for more you might of found a little nest egg ATB mark

Looks more like bronze than copper to me. The design on it is primitive, but notice how it stops short of the edge on the top, yet on the bottom it carries on to the edge. Not sure on the bracelet front all the ones I have seen (in museums) have all been curved with no right angle edges. I would say it is a decoration of some sort but for what is an archaeologists guess.

 

PS stop biting your nails.

Saxon gold ?????

 

I recall a programme on the TV about a guy that stumbled upon a Saxon hoard in Stafford I think. That started with a little piece like that and the guy ended up with something like 40 million in the bank

 

 

where did you say it was again ?

the thing is:...I can't bloody remember where i found it, and it was only last week!

A lot of relics are turned up by moles. Seen a guy talking recently about this.

[unclepesta 101]

get the metal detector out if its not a sensitive site.mole has turned up a piece of history there and there is a good chance there is more interesting stuff.. i often take the detector mole trapping i found allsorts from bronze age through to spendable money not to mention old lost mole traps.not mine obviously.

 

if you do have a look post up finds on here
