[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 515899, member: 8767"] Wally69 The sailing boat pendant (well spotted) seems to be pewter, but it is from a more modern period we think by the boat style. It was found in the area about 80m away, and down hill from the other site. We have not checked if it is silver, how to test ? But it's general condition says pewter to me, where it hung from seems to have a bit of rust in there, so may have been a steel chain. Kato is now trying to clean it better to id the metal. Looking at it now and thinking about your comment, it seems like it is a keyring tag, she did find a key about 5" away. Not magnetic, crusty but rings when tapped with a steel blade, now we think it could be brass. Funny thing is that the Bow is not correct, and opposite end, in relation to the position of the sails. Looks like the pointy Bow is at the Stern end. :8 Do you recognise it ? This bay is a popular stop for Sail boats before KI But not a spot for motor boats, no ramp facility nearby even. :) [/QUOTE]
