Armor Attachment? Carriage </p><p>Emblem or Coat of Arms??? Coin? very doubtful....</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a recent metal detector find. The location is the United Kingdom, England.</p><p><br /></p><p>The approximate location described by the finder/owner : <span style="color: #333333"><font face="lucida grande">it was found one mile away from Leeds Castle in Kent.</font></span><span style="color: #333333"><font face="lucida grande"> Elizabeth the 1st, Henry the 1st &amp; 2nd and so on and Francis Drake all stayed there.It was found in a </font></span><span style="color: #333333"><font face="lucida grande">field, many 1000&#039;s of years ago use to be forest land used for game hunting.</font></span><span style="color: #333333"><font face="lucida grande"> It was found in a field near and old bridal walk way and this field was a mile away from Leeds Castle in Maidstone in Kent.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><font face="lucida grande"><br /></font></span></p><p><font face="lucida grande"><span style="color: #333333">Dimensions : diameter is 39.5 mm - thickness 3.4 mm - weight 17.02 grams.

Unfortunately it baffles many who have viewed this. There are recessed drillings where it seems precious stones/jewels may once have been part of this artifact. As mentioned in this post it seems it is Portuguese in nature but, this is all that is known at this point.</p><p><br /></p><p>I welcome all comments and discussions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance for your interest &amp; comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
