Never got to go detecting this week a family commitment on Saturday and heavy rain Sunday kept me away from the fields
So on Sunday I spent a couple of hours going through my scrap Buckets I pulled out a few bits and bobs and placed them into another container, on one of the pieces I noticed a bit of gilding and took it into the house for further investigation
I gave it a bit of a clean with genolite and a cotton wool bud red enameling started to show and a symbol in the middle turns out it's a 13th-14th Century Heraldic Horse Pendant, in the form of a quarterfoil with cusps between the lobes
At the centre of the Pendant there is a Monogram possibly reading Maria in a Field of red enamel surrounded by a Guilded border. I'm going to have to be a lot more carefull what I through in my scrap buckets from now on
SS that is really a nice looking piece of history, good save there! i have gotten to the point with my junk that i even open up folded pieces of tin foil, just to be sure!
That's cool SS,I thought I was the only crazy one that can't get enough of going over things even scrap I find neat things too Your time will come for more and I find the longer I wait the hungrier I get to find something so with that said and your local look out.
