More Loom Weights

[robfinds]

Well I found plenty of loom weights last year, looks like the same again this year. Braved the light dusting of snow and the freezing air and spent 3 hours on a local field. Managed to find a couple of coppers a George 111 disc, an Edward V11 penny 1907, a George 111 counterfit shilling with a little of it's silver coating left. Also a plain rough looking loom weight, and leaving the best find till the very end of the session a loom weight with letters on it. Can't work out what they say though.

They look more like Saxon spindle whorls, is that the same as a loom weight? HH, Mike

Think so Mike, there may be a difference between a loom weight and a whorl. Were worls used for wool ?.

Come to think of it the letters do look like the ones on copper stycas (retrograde).

Been trying to get a better pic. (very hard with lead). The letters do look runic, the find does look much better than the pics with loads of letters.

Don't know what they are for, but I know what a loom is. They must be old if found in the UK
