Amazing Brass Knuckles Metal Detecting Find

[Goldgrabber]

Out metal detecting with my friend when he made an amazing discovery. I was out metal detecting with my Minelab X-Terra 705 metal detector and my friend was using his Tesoro. We were metal detecting with out detectors in a woodland permission we have where we usually find coins, lead bullets, rifle casings through to toy cars & cap guns. This trip was a very short trip, we were out for less than 2 hours on the hunt with out metal detectors and my friend unearthed an amazing find which we never expected to discover where we are detecting. My Minelab Xterra 705 happily pulling bullets and a few coins when I heard my mate shouting he had a great find and as you can see in the video, his Tesoro unearthed a great unusual find, some pointed end brass knuckles (knuckle dusters) which was easily declared the find of the day.

Are the .303 cases dated? Those bullets appear to have been fired from .577 Enfields.

I've not cleaned up the casings but I think my friend has mentioned those models of guns

I have a pair of brass knuckles (not brass), exactly like yours. Found while beach detecting in Pattaya Thailand, last year. Havent checked the street shops, but I`m guessing, made in Thailand.

vicious things aren't they, certainly wouldn't want to get hit by them at all... These were found in the UK and they're banned from sale here (although the odd market "smoke" stall might try now & then), illegal to carry in public too as they're classed as an offensive weapon but if you already own some, they're fine to own if left at home though
