    Heavy weight thimble

    Found this a few weeks back. Have just had an ID from local museum. This beauty gave a cracking signal .Most Thimbles I find are in a sad old state- flat as a pancake

    What Ho, Digger,
    Click on this to discover info about the find recording scheme we have over here, the Portable Antiquities Scheme https://finds.org.uk/ .Try searching to discover what we are finding this side of the pond

    It is purely voluntary, but most responsible detectorists use it
