as it should be....hundreds of years of history ....this was for many years the only sure fire way of putting meat on the table by hunting land before the enclosures act....... for the family to keep alive...no wonder dogs are so much part of a family ..

red the National detector magazine last month...and in the centre spread there was an important article about a nationally significant find of bronze ginger mashers....and 3 silver gilt hamster cages found in the Tipton area...

looks like a cap gun...

just hearing on the news ..the govt is going to change the laws on detectoring finds....really tightening stuff up....doing it under the guise of "culturey significant".....not value / age / type of metal anymore......so any finds like harness bells...harness adornments....cloke clasps ....etc and age of finds reduced to 200 years from 300 years....now classed as treasure trove and cannot be held in collection's and have to be offered for purchase to musems etc, yet more control and another turn of the screw
