Obviously you’ll be using the hallmark to ensure it’s not over 300yrs old, and therefore “Treasure” ?

on the contrary, the older the better. 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.

[Christmas Tree 4725]

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.

How is spunking £500 on a metal detector hobby (that you'll bore of soon enough) and putting too much chilli flakes in your spaghetti a Life Hack?

 

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

🤔

[The Fish 10856]

Look, I was right about English Tapas, and I'll be proven right about freezing grapes an'all.

Hertfordshire Bronze Age axe hoard found by detectorist, 13

 

A 13-year-old girl uncovered a hoard of Bronze Age axes on her third metal-detecting trip.

 

Milly was scouring a field near Royston, Hertfordshire, when she made the find - the first of 65 artefacts dating from about 1300BC.

Did we ever find out if CT’s Roman/Viking drawer handle/cape clasp was worth anything or did it go on the rusty spoon mountain?

So, @Christmas Tree , having been comprehensively rinsed by a beginner 13yr old lass and a Spanish badger, is it time to hang up the bleepy stick yet?

If it isn’t already Spanish Badger should be a euphemism

Btw there was a bloke with a metal detector at the beach at Seaton Sluice yesterday. Surely it must be bleeping every couple of metres with all the discarded cans of carling and what have you

CT after a dig at the Sluice.
