Appleby yesterday. Several old coins and a Roman drawer handle.

 

Lovely little cafe on the river as well. Sorted me out with a delicious bacon sarnie and cup of tea to start the day.

Who says that is Roman btw? Do you just apply the word Roman to any old shit you find?

[Christmas Tree 4728]

Yes

[The Fish 10859]

Why do you think that's a drawer handle?

Just guesses from the experienced heads that were there. One thought it was Georgian, one thought it wasnt a drawer handle. It was in a field that quite a lot of Roman coins were coming out of.

 

Any suggestions welcome

If it's decorated at the ends, it's unlikely to be a drawer handle.

[Gemmill 44948]

That's not what the "experienced heads", aka long term oddballs thought.

I found 50p on the beach the other day with no kit whatsoever.

 

I'll offer it for the drawer handle CT.

Trying to imagine what these "experienced heads" look like and all I'm getting is Mulligan and O'Hare.

[Monkeys Fist 42460]

What's it made from, Radar?

Copper, iron, bronze?

Well that's what I thought, but you know, newbie and I have no idea what else it could be.

Scratch it you daft fucker.

See what colour it is.

That's the good shit!

 

Na, the bairn likes to see what I've found and is getting sic of my slide presentations of just old coins.

 

I'm trying to get one of them into it but nobody's biting (I'm sure the laddie will get the bug in a couple of years).

 

That drawer thing on closer inspection looks as though there's been a breakage between the two pointy bits. I'm guessing that's where it snapped.

 

Off to "scratch" my priceless Roman artefact.

CT man, don't involve your child in this. It's the preserve of utter weirdos. He will never get a girlfriend if word gets out that he goes out metal detecting with his dad on weekends.

[Monkeys Fist 42460]

Didn't we establish that CT Jnr. was skipping down the bufty path?

It's either that or watching Newcastle. Think of the pain and anguish I'll save him from

Someone find the thread he made about lisps being gay or whatever it was.

[Monkeys Fist 42460]

That was it

 

Fuck knows what thread it was, mind.
