[HISPAN]

Today I went out all day hunting in fields a nearby city, the findings are from the 17th century, 18th and 19th. (Centuries are more poor in my country) but despite everything I could find a good lot of findings and a day very good.
Greetings to everyone!

Your finds are excellent, and your photos are great. Some nice old coins and a few silver ones too. 8)
Do you have any information on this item? My friend found one at an early 19th century site here last year.

Well sorry BB but it looks like to me to be an old swivel from the steering system of an old automobile. Of course I will be wrong, but maybe you have to post some more photos of it first.

Well, the reason I asked is that we thought it was the top of the tightener screw from the jaws of a flintlock musket (the part that held the flint). The piece my friend found was just the end with the hole in it and not much else--but it is obvious to me that Hispan found the same piece.

I don't think it's a rocket launcher though--but thanks for your help!

can be almost anything .... These findings are very difficult to classify, and more for being broken.

I'm thinking about moving to London and on weekends to visit Yorkshire to leave without coins .

You are right is a Medieval pilgrim badge , compared to other, represents two angels around a saint (which is missing the Head ) I have another, the same day found in the same field but can not represent.
thank you very much Rob.

Sorry for the late response, I went out to hunt

If it had two holes I would be sure, but with one hole All I can comment on is that is has some wear on one side of the hole. So it must have had something twisting or rubbing/pulling on it. I think it is too smaller hole for leather, so the obivious choice is a little metal attachment similar to the ones below:

This one happens to be a spur fittment, which the 2 'rivets' attached too, as this had 1 I'm a little stumped, but I guess it could have attached to leather.
