It does have that look. Good suggestion.

The silver piece looks to be hammer-made. The uneven surface dimples are percussive marks? Very cool.

The silver piece made me think of a book closer locking bracket.

Yes, please give us an update on the silver object…I’d be fascinated to find out what it actually is! Cheers, and ATB!

That piece of silver is very interesting. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!!!

Keep us updated on that mystery silver! I’m very curious to hear what the museum has to say. I absolutely loved The Detectorists!

Blessings, my Scottish Detectorist friend, from this old man in Tennessee. Happy to see you back out in lovely weather, detectorizing again. That’s a nice Silver find. A strap end makes sense…definitely mid-evil or pre-historical. Cool.

Hopefully the siver proves to be a great find. How long do you have to wait to show items to the museum? Would you consider doing a video of finds the museum has positively identified?

The silver incised strap is really incredible and no telling what it is or was.

@thescottishdetectorist

Ай бұрын

Thanks Jeffrey. I hope it’s Roman/Iron Age, but I’ll keep you all posted

I reckon the round bit on the end of that silver could’ve been a circular hole into which a clasp may have slotted through. The strap would have likely came out of the side with the rivet holes. Whether the other end of the strap had a metal, wood or just was plain leather, I couldn’t say…but it was likely rubbing on the circular shape as it slotted through the hole

Could your bit of silver be a piece of Roman armour - the lorica squamata?

The holes on the silver thing seem to be unfinished. The top hole looks half rounded so, perhaps it wasn’t meant to be seen or made in a hurry. Book clasp? Box or chest lock ?

Are you allowed to keep all your finds or do you have share them with the property owner? Thanks for the video.

Hey John. I am curious. There are newer technologies and apps that allow you to scan the sizes and shapes of things like furniture and shoes. It would be great if you could use (maybe develop) one of those kinds of apps to help identify the finds. I know that many of the finds are fragmentary or squished but then there are the ones like at the 9:00 mark than are complete. Is there some app that may perhaps give some answers? Anywho, kind greetings from Los Angeles!
