12 OCTOBER OF 2011 ...

[HISPAN]

Hi !
Today was Columbus Day (national holiday in my country) and almost all shops closed, then used the day to go hunting for three hours.
Not rain or the mild climate of autumn, but the vineyards are being tilled and help that a bit in the game .. but only a little deeper the findings cost more to extract.
Today I have a nice horse Medieval pendant, has levied a deer in a trefoil cross and traces of gold .... very nice.
Also a 17th century palm guard, a thimble full, a beautiful Medieval mount four-headed bird (is bent, but I will not try to straighten that may break) also a frame with a skull and crossbones, is the typical hazard identification or pirates but this is very old has a dark green patina and seems to have more than 100 years ... is a piece that has me very confused.
and a pair Billon coins of 17th century .

It is a comic style to be of the Middle Ages .... 14th or 15th centuries.

Hi VOL1266!
the oldest in my collection are from the 14 th and 15th ... but I think they are a previous invention....
according to Wikipedia the metal thimbles is Roman :
