You, guys, are killing me with those cannons. It's like showing candy to a kid We must set up some Charity Fund where successful detectorists can make donations to us, poor b%stards . BTW, I would like to have a barrel tap as well.

This field is almost entirely of Findings of the 19th century .... with some things from earlier centuries but little ..... I show you a picture of the lizard with more light.

Hello "Cru" all the 19th century ... to sample this brand of English ceramics you know (johnson and brothers) appeared thousands of pieces of porcelain with these findings.

Yes, it's a part of a barrel tap. I believe it's ca 17th century. Please take a look at the whole thing. Here is the one from the auction:
