Stellar finds! I'd love to find one someday...but the sites I hunt aren't consistently old enough.

I think Crusader will have quite a collection to post... I hope we hear from him on this thread.


Excellent as always, IP 8)

I have only dug 1 wax seal and its missing the handle so I hope it counts.
It has a navy type theme with anchor and star shield

I have one that unfortunately is missing the nice part, the seal itself, but the holder is kind of neat. :)

Took me quite a while just to get these 3 but I like em. I did have 4 but gave one to a land owner seeing how impressed he was with it.
Hello Iron Patch, i've had loads of seals over the years. But this is the best one by far it's 66mm high and is medieval.

I think we need this back up with our other finds themes. :thumbsup:
 

Amazingly (I think)..... all these were found in 2009. I got them all except the top Georgian one which Dad got. Definately my best year for these, with a nice early round type in top condition!

So, looking at all these seals, I'm starting to think that's what this is. Originally I thought it was just a pendant - the bottom appears to be smooth, without design.
