Its a strange old hobby..........

[Doug Turner]

………….that we pursue?

Items came out from various fields in England. (2008)

These are fields with no known history or local landmarks.

Although some of the finds are modern, some are quite old, the only common denominator with these finds are the farms, fields and the farm buildings are around the 15/1600’s AD.

Although I know what a lot of the items are, some of them have a question mark over there use, origin, and date.

The surprise find among these is a handmade medieval nail. (Thanks to a UK forum member for ID)

Enjoy.

[Doug Turner]

Purely for interest, I have re-photographed some of the items with a brief description. Lots of photographs.

I am not quite sure the ID’s are not 100% correct.

I hope it will give you some idea of the difficulties encountered in trying to give a possible ID for some objects?

Keep smiling. :spin: :tumble:
