Hi Roy, Some good finds for an hours hunt. Love the wee bronze gun carriage.....very cool.......any identifiable markings to suggest who may have made it?
Seems to be a time of interesting and mysterious finds at the moment. I got a small, very old lead Tiki (pic of it on "my first 925 pocketwatch and coin" page) at Hagley last weekend and you get a clowns head.......very strange........well done.

Going off on a tangent here, but anybody local who feels like a hunt tomorrow after work (Friday), feel free to text me as I'm up for it and probably heading to Hagley around 5 ish.

My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.
