back to the wood

[robfinds]

When it finally stopped raining today, I grabbed a couple of hours detecting in the wood where I found the old button the other day. Must have dug up 50 shot gun buts and only had one interesting find. Although I did take a cutting from some nice honeysuckle that was growing wild besides a path. The find I would have to call a pin, maybe a lynch pin of sorts.

HH Robert.

I never find, anything like the good stuff you have had from the woods. My wood hunting mostly drawers a blank, I'm not really sure why

Looks Lynch Pinney

Only thing I find in the woods are ticks, snakes, gnats, mosquitoes and sometimes (most of the time) shotgun shells and empty brass cartridges...
Great to find a neat lynch, a good find!

Woods can be tough, and there not my favourite places to search. A couple of old hands I know swear by them though because finds have less chance of being damaged. Around 25 years ago one of them Jimmy found a wonderful Celtic bronze torc in a local wood.

Good question, lynch pins had something (I think) to do with horse carts. Obviously because of the highly designed head it would have been visible when in use. The pin is iron with a copper alloy head. It may of course not be a lynch pin.
