So far I think I have it made in Newcastle between 1700-1720. If confirmed it will be going to the FLO (finds Liason officer) and I will have officially found treasure Couldnt be happier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4711 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 A bit gutted Turns out it was made by Thomas Sewell 1st in The Side (now Dean street, Newcastle) around 1860. Found a similar one in the V&A museum. https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O374308/ring-sewell-thomas-i/ Nee Indiana Jones just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A life hack is freezing grapes to use as ice-cubes for white wine in the summer, that way the wine isn't watered down and you get boozy grapes at the end of the drink 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34913 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Btw there was a bloke with a metal detector at the beach at Seaton Sluice yesterday.
