Thanks for the update. That’s very cool. What a thing to own! Congrats again on the amazing find!

 

Thanks mate, got there in the end, some things take ages to id properly (over a year)

but worth it in the end i guess

 

Well you got it done.. and it was definitely worth it. A wonderful item!

 

Mate-I guess you'd have to fib to PAS and tell them you dug your pot & pestle up in a local field to get any kind of free valuation ?
PS-Throw a few pieces of Viking coinage while your at it.I'll tell you what'd really get their dander flyin' is even the faintest prospect of an Anglo Saxon settlement.Christ-You'd probably get Time Team parachuting in for that !
