bronze roman whistle

[veronasteve]

its got a bit broken off the end,but has been i.d as a roman whistle,if so its quite rare they dont know exactly what they where used for.maybe military used em for sending signals to troops.
this is the field i found it in.

That is so cool. I wonder if they used them to call their dogs when hunting? Very nice find

Wow, what I would not give to have a few sweeps in that field
That whistle is a keeper for sure.

Send me a good front and back pic of a coin and I can make you a 3D coin just like it.
I made one for foxhound that way.

[trikikiwi]

Congratulations on the find - and achieving The Banner.
You must - please, find a way for all of us to hear the whistle.

That shape looks soooo much like an old cannon
to my eyes - it's uncanny

thanks guys,no it doesnt work, roman bronze items last a long time and well made,there coins out live 19\18 thc ones easily,its a good area for relics and its not really ploughed or had loads of chemicals on it ,so that helps preserve the condition a lot.
