Ah, OK, northern, that makes sense. Thank you. :) I think and hope it ought to do rather well.
How did they decide it wasn't silver without testing? And if they're saying non precious metal jewellery has no value bar aesthetic, that's a bit...
I don't think it's junk either, still think it wants checking properly. As to stuff sticking out, it's surprising how close to the surface Old...
Digging up bits of Roman or later stuff is quite common. I unearth Roman tile sherds all the time, and I know detectorists with boxes and boxes of...
Yup, context is crucial. Cumbria County Council has an archaeologist: Hadrian's Wall is close, for example. Here:...

You also get hard standing car boots all year round. In London and the Home Counties, pitch hire is about the ten quid mark if you're a car, up to...
Car boot sales are big business here. It's a market worth hundreds of millions to the organisers alone - some atttract thousands of stall holders....
They're designed to encourage detectorists to protect and preserve both context and object. Or anyone else for that matter. Pragmatic and well...
Not Delft, imo, but Hispanic. Probably Spanish. I'd have grabbed them for a quid.
af, there were a pair of 18th C sticks on one of the daytime antique shows last week. Sold for a tenner. So yes, point taken. ;) I rather wish...
