Sixpence's
Bullets
Pulled a nice bone knife handle out which was intact until I knocked the concretion off, would luv a date on it.
And an unusual Viccy penny that looks to be silver plated

Nice haul there Tomo
that penny does look plated defo unusual, i should have been out myself tody but i have got the hangover from hell

Cheer's buster. Still can't find the knife handle on the net

Nice finds there I went to slapton sands today for a couple of hours ... all i had was blobs of aluminium

The Knife handle looks Georgian Tomo, Probably from a folding pocket knife

Thanks stu. Would luv to get it back to orignal

Good one Tomo nice to be back on the beach.

You just need to let it dry out very slowly, but the remains of the old Iron pins need removing, as they can expand and crack the bone. Amazed it survived that well from a beach, All the decent bone or ivory items I have dug came from inland waterways, or Thames side Building sites

It was deep Down in the black sandy mud stu. It popped out the hole when I was digging a Viccy penny out. Now its drying out and shrinking the bits of concretion's left on is falling off.
