Here is an amazing metal detecting find that was acquired this weekend! This was found in France, although I do not know the exact location. I obtained it from an estate sale, the lady holding the sale told me about the trip from which it was found by her friend. I absloutely love the coloring and patina and had to have it! It is 8” across each direction and weighs in at 652 grams! Any ideas as to its origin?

Thanks for posting this, when you showed it to me i wanted these guys to check it out, youll be surprised the stuff some of these guys know! Being from france it could be OLD!..

I wouldve bought that too!
 
Thank you Thommy, for the ID. I wonder what circumstances got it to France and when it was brought there.
 
Wow that is awesome, thanks for sharing one outstanding find that you don't see very often. A killer piece of history.
