Ampulla age ?

Post by Paulandmaz »

Hi All
I found what I think is a lead ampulla on pasture on a permission in Essex. Approximately 4 to 5 inches down with a varied signal using my Vanquish 440.
Not sure what shrine this would have been from but more interested in the age . Could anyone help on dating it please?
Thanks in advance
Paul
