[QUOTE="LostNowFound, post: 352973, member: 10735"] Hi all, Any comments on my finds? What could they be? Medals? Trophy parts? Designs off a case holding the gun and bullets? Bullets look to be 303 calibre? Ends are worn. Bullets have been in the ground for some time judging by the rust? How old are 303 calibre bullets? I can only guess they are at least 50-100 years old as I found them in a field near an old school that dates back to the 1800's. YES - all in the same hole pretty much if not a few inches away from the first item taken out of the earth!! Looks like a knights head with his shield, second knight not found (even on second trip) so bottom of shield only, and a spoon, all broken sadly. on the back of the knights shield is stamped "21". Also two small dent holes where you would add glue to stick to a surface. Maybe not so old??
