Yes Ken.

Okay. And, if we view your middle picture of it as a rather mucky duck, with no beak, swimming left to right ~ with me? Where its breast sits in the water:

Is there any chance, amidst all that muck and rust / corrosion? Could there be a little cut back? I'm thinking something just enough to snag like a pen knife blade under, if it were offered blade edge on.

With all that muck and gunk, it may not be obvious. But, I think it's still there.

Yes mate there is will post another picture.

Also the tail of mucky duck (love it Lol) is beveled on the under side both sides.

I think it's a cupboard latch or maybe a window latch mate.

Cheers Arry

Id say that's half hinge of a cupboard or animal feed bin, and hazard a guess the ring is related to leather either bridle or pouch/bag.

No mate Ken's got it spot on it's the brass bit off the plate of a gin trap. The ring has me intrigued mate as I'm petty sure it's cast and not made of brass bar. Have a look at Celtic Ring Money. Knowing my luck it's just a really old curtain ring Lol. Sent a picture off to the finds people to see what they think. Either way still worth such all. Thought I had cracked it when that brass lamp came up it looked so bright in the river mud, not to be just more junk better looking junk than bits of old plough shear or square nails but still junk.

Yes mate came out of the mud black thought it was silver at first. The black came of with a Brillo pad Lol historians would have a fit.

Looks cast I think brass, it's interesting probably a harness ring or off an old bag or something. Just was hopping it was Celtic ring money still worth f**k all but more interesting.

Still better than the junk been getting in the fields.

Cheers Arry
