MAY WINNER:

Here’s my best find this month.
Found today 26th May with my new toy the Legend.
Vintage Nash Seaman car bodies badge, circa 1915.

 

[Hilux]

JUNE WINNER:

I found this brooch last week on Saturday 4th June by the Swan River in WA near Fremantle, MBasko suggested I pop it in the FOM competition.

It was 5 inches down right close to a Blackboy / Grass Tree. all I've done is give it a quick tooth-brushing to get the dirt off.

Forum member MegsyB007 helped me ID it as a floral micro mosaic brooch, probably Italian and from the 20's/30's or the 50's.
I've found some very similar ones on-line but nothing of the same design.

The detail is impressive, the little flowers around the periphery are about 1.5mm in diameter. All the mosaic pieces seem to be in place.


Edited to add found date.

AUGUST WINNER:


Found 9th of August, a new patch that gave us about 3.5 oz in 2 days....guess the patch was my find of the month!
This was my biggest piece from the patch. Cheers.
