Great find Marc

Do you spend more time researching or searching?
You find some great items...

Thanks mate, Yep i spend all week researching. I also speak to locals, donate a few things to local town museams to then get in the good books then they offer places to go and advise. I also get chummy with the shire. Quite sneaky but i give back to the towns. Anything historic or family items always go back. Im just happy to get video and photos to always look back on

That's a great mode of operation-well done Marc.

Beautiful find.

that's just fantastic and very beautiful great work
