:shocked03: wow :congrats:
Can you elaborate on its history?
I think 2000 BCE is before the iron age...no? :dontknow: ...but I'm no history buff.

A very nice find.
Have you had a chance to have the metal identified and possibly dated.
Museums and larger central library's are a great place to start your research.
Keep up the good work, John. |:cheering:
