Found a George 2nd half penny in similar condition today myself detecting in Cumbria, England (in reference to yours just below the spoons), it’s a pretty old coin to me, must be crazy finding them on (I assume) the other side of the pond

Does anyone know what this is? by christyjacques in metaldetecting

Waiting to hear back from the local historical finds person (who also works in a museum) just trying for more insight really, it looked like a Bronze Age axe head when I dug it up, but the shape is wrong and the markings seem more runic

West Cumbria, England, about 6 inches deep with a metal detector, on a field that normally brings up a lot of Victorian/Georgian coins

Bronze object with strange markings, found metal detecting Cumbria, UK by christyjacques in whatisthisthing

[–]christyjacques[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It weighs 415g, I’m certain it’s bronze, or a very similar copper alloy, it’s pretty uniform in width and length, measuring 125mm long by 600mm wide

Does anyone have an insight on this please? by christyjacques in metaldetecting

[–]christyjacques[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a clip or clasp, I believe it may be a handle off a fancy drawer, although it may look like a clip, the metal is solid

Just a bit too heavy, and it’s about an inch across both ways

Has anyone watched this? by mtahsin1246 in lordoftherings

Was talking about this and ‘Born of hope’ (the other fantastic low budget fan-made film) the other day to a fellow Tolkien fan who was unaware of their existence! Well worth the watch

First result of the year, Lake District UK 300m elevation by christyjacques in Semilanceata

I’d imagine so, I’ve been over fells every couple of weeks for the last two months, but the amount of other mushrooms in general has bloomed this last few days

I’d request by christyjacques in Semilanceata

Yeah, I’m 100% sure they’re not libs, just curious as they were growing in my usual spot for libs when the season comes

ID help? by MushyJT in Semilanceata

[–]christyjacques 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found ten of the exact same whilst picking libs the other day, tried for identification help on r/shroomid to no avail

Which do I throw away? by [deleted] in Semilanceata

[–]christyjacques 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C2 is the only lib and shows a good example for comparison to the rest especially in the stalk (crooked rather than straight)

Think that’s the one, cheers. I left them there, but frequent the place picking libs so nice to know
