Old Battle Axes
Totally cool. I love this sort of stuff. Thanks for posting.
Interesting that they used “cling film” (Saran Wrap or Press n Seal)to block the find. I believe that plaster of paris was once the only school solution.
Coke cans, plastic baby diapers, nylon fishing line, styrofoam cups, McDonalds fries, etc. Not going to look as good on display in a museum as this ancient material does.
Very interesting an significant find. Last year there was a major find of gold relics that was recovered from another English field that had been cultivated for years, but was recently explored by another fellow with a metal detector. As I recall the find was worth Millions, and both the fellow who found it and the landowner both make abunch of money from the find.
I lived in Norwich for three years while on active duty. I always felt you could stick a spade in the ground anywhere and find an artifact. What an amazing find. Thanks for posting it. I was at RAF Lakenheath when they had to halt construction of the a new post office because they found a burial site for a Viking on his horse.
Some things never change.
