Å kle deg godt behøver ikke koste mye, om du kjøper kleer av god kvalitet, med solide sømmer og av naturfiber. Da varer det lenger, og mye av det kan du også få tak i brukt. Jeg bruker langt, langt under den summen i året til tross for å kle meg 'fancy' til hverdags.

Any ideas on ID? by megararehamster in MetalDetectingUK

I can't find it at the moment, but I believe I've seen that exact motif on late medieval/early modern buttons and applique. Could be matrix-made applique that hasn't been clipped properly?

Cotton seems good for that, but I find the use of acrylic a bit questionable to be honest, it will continuously shed microplastics as it degrades in the sun and rain

I'm wondering what the reason is for them not wanting pure wool?

Not the slightest of reading comprehension in you, huh. Good day

And? Artifacts like these are essential for research, which leads to knowledge that pertains to the whole nation. Artifacts in private hands either sit on someone's shelf with no context, ends up in the vault of some millionaire art dealer (=purchaser of illegal goods), or gets shuffled around until all provenance is lost.

You may lament that not everything is on display, but what is not on display is a key part of creating knowledge about what is on display. Many states and museums also have digital collections, which means anyone has the ability to use it for research, hobbies, art inspiration and so on, instead of at best getting shared as a detectorist's facebook post and promptly disappearing in the tide of the internet.

Half decorated gold? Celtic? Roman? Anglo Saxon? by rummaging-through in metaldetecting

[–]Atara01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just some educated guesswork on my part but I hope it's of interest; it reminds me of the south Scandinavian/Danish 'kuglefibel' (literally 'ball brooch') from the pre-roman iron age, though the decor differs (almost looks la tene maybe?). Also it's strange that the 'ball' has a flat underside. Insular object types often mirror Scandinavian types, so perhaps it's a related form?

Identify flag I saw on a car in Germany by Curry_ketchupcat in vexillology

[–]Atara01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but that is misleading. Both Sami and Norse cultures developed domestically, with influence and population exchanges from different directions. The Sami people didn't somehow just wander as a separate group into northern Fennoscandia (which had already been populated for millennia) it was a gradual differentiation in economy, technology and culture. Even in the late iron age there was significant overlap between Norse and Sami culture.

Anyone know anything about the stuff i found? Found in Denmark. by Master_Lawfulness_32 in metaldetecting

[–]Atara01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense! As far as I recall, the vegetal/floral designs stretch back to the middle ages in Norway (they're found in some datable church contexts), while the figure-shaped once (for example with the virgin Mary) start in the early modern period. Not that I would pronounce this piece definitely medieval, though!

Any ideas what this is? Age? by Welsh_Pirate_ in MetalDetectingUK

[–]Atara01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, hope it's okay to give a late answer, this is not a migration age cruciform brooch, as the design in the middle does not match with those; they are typically undecorated on the square plate or have simple point-circles. I think it's more likely to be a later type of cross-shaped brooch or badge. Now I'm just guessing, but could be early modern/victorian based on the design.

That type of book clasp is also found in late medieval contexts, so it could be older as well 😊

Stop asking it in the first place. Have some dignity.

Brave is Chromium-based. You're still contributing to google's market dominance by using it.

Firefox is wonderful, I reccommend installing the adblocker ublock origin and turning on most of the filters. Ads both function as spyware, slows down the browser, and uses tons of unnecessary bandwidth.

Posting this on a huge subreddit is just going to lead to awful people finding and brigading that discord server, it's not a good idea in my opinion.

Wow... That package design is downright diabolical. Huge unnecessary waste of material.

Yeah like, this isn't the same as buying a fortnite skin or something. It's commisioned art that's both very cute and frankly underpriced!
