I found a bunch of those in a library book once. Like seven or eight of 'em. All with the stamp and postmark. It was a fun find.
Man, I love that thing. I love SLQs to begin with, but a Type 1 SLQ with perfect CircCam contrast is a sight to behold.
I had this thought as well. I very, very strongly doubt that you will find the brooch to be ancient. It's old, but not that old. I'm sticking...
That's fine.
Here's a Hungarian denar from 1638. [IMG]
I'm semi-retired from detecting now, but here are some reposts of a few of my older stories. "Digger's Diary" Stories [IMG] "I call this one...
