At first i thought it was a bean sinker for fishing then gave it a wipe to see a little colour then after a gentle wask with water and toothbrush... this...

Great find Marc

Do you spend more time researching or searching?
You find some great items...

Thanks mate, Yep i spend all week researching. I also speak to locals, donate a few things to local town museams to then get in the good books then they offer places to go and advise. I also get chummy with the shire. Quite sneaky but i give back to the towns. Anything historic or family items always go back. Im just happy to get video and photos to always look back on
