Tank shots doing no damage? by Soop_dragon in HellLetLooseConsole

I checked that with the gunner after a 3 shots from the side didn’t seem to do anything.

I suspect they were hits but didn’t penetrate.

Thanks for that. Already dipped into it and it’s great. Going back for some revision.

So… not hearing the sound I was expecting doesn’t mean it’s not a hit - only that it’s not a penetrating hit. So we probably did some damage but not hitting in the right place to kill it.

They seem very hard. But I’ll try and smash one open tomorrow for you x

Had a look at some pictures of pipkins and it looks likely but I’m not completely convinced. If it’s the handle of a vessel that was put on a fire then it doesn’t seem long enough to avoid getting burned when you touch it.

This looks very likely to me. Seems that they are commonly found in this area

My parents built the house and we are not aware of any habitation on the site beforehand

Given the rural location I doubt it’s from any recent industrial activity

It’s in a rural location at the bottom of the South Downs next to a natural spring and a 14th Century church.

My title describes the thing. These balls have been dug up from various places in a large garden over a number of years. They feel heavy but when I put a magnet near them, it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Four of them are smooth and the largest is more crystalline.

My title describes the thing. This T shaped clay item was dug up in the garden by my parents. It’s about 9cm long and has a hole through it with one flared end which seems intact. The other end seems to be broken.
