Precious Stone or Glass? Apostle Spoon - New Field.

[DavidBeard]

Mornin All,
The neighbouring farmer came chatting to me one day whilst on one of my regular farms - said I could walk round his field too - pasture land not been disturbed for at least 30 years.
Had a quick look round yesterday afternoon and whilst there his wife came out to say hello - When we saw each other it was a lovely surprise for both of us - She had been my Science Teacher at secondary school - not seen each other for at least 34 years - made my day.
Anyway - had a quick walk round the edges and across the middle of 1 field and found these:



The coins are George VI, 1937 & 1938 and a George III Halfpenny 1806/07

The Apostle Spoon has no bend in it what so ever



I couldn't find the rest of this ring, perhaps it'll turn up in my next visit - this measures 15mm x 13mm - lovely blue colour, surrounded by 20 small clear stones.







Glass or precious stone?
It made a nice change from the recent stubble and plough - hopefully do the whole field next time.

Very cool spoon, seen them but never had one. Very good condition but no great age (as these did span into the Medieval). 8) 8)

Looks like costume jewelry to me

Still looks like a worthwhile field

Forgot to say, getting new land can often happen that way. The first is the most difficult, then it can snowball. Nice it was someone you know.

If your continuing with the grass, try & listen out for the very faint whispers. Normally hard to pinpoint & can sound very iffy(can even be 1 way), but worth experimenting. (if you haven't already) Generally, if you dig the first grass flap at 4 inches the signal should improve.

If you get a chance..take the stone to at least two gemologist etc and let us know what it is. There's something special about it.

Nice finds. I'm no expert but if the stone were real you would think that it would be set in gold or silver. It's a nice find which ever way it turns out.
