    We found antique

    My brod in-law was digging in our farm and found an antique. I took it here to find out how old it is and how much is the value.
    It is valuable if this is gold ehehehe.

    What is it? Can't tell what it is. There was recently the biggest anglo-saxon find of gold in staffordshire. It's not part of that is it lol

    It looks to me like something that's been "lifted" from a Catholic church.

    See if you have a ring does it go off in a metal detector. How do you empty your pockets at that airport?

    Until now I don't exactly knows. I searched the web but can't find the similar art design surrounds it.

    Not from a catholic church for sure because there's an art shaped like God but the face is look like a cat and sit like a buddha.

    If that is valuable, we will dig more. I took it to jeweller shop and they said it's very old but only made of brass. We have no metal detector
    I'll give you share if there's more

    You found Antique?I didnt know you visited Panay(think about it).Right,it doesnt look like an Egyptian scarab,what it does look like is an old crotal bell,I have found several similar though not in as good a condition as that Pen,maybe its part of Yamashitas Gold Metal detectors in Pinas?I took mine a few years ago to check out an old japanese or rather rumoured japanese WW2 camp in the boonies,found nothing but flakes of rust



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    You're right Tawi! It's a bell but the middle thing was melted when we found it. It doesn't ring anymore. Can I borrow your metal detector?

    No it's not a granade look. It's a bell with picture of Anito Gods.

    Wait till the antique roadshow comes to Newcastle,show them the bell and tell them you found it on Holy-island,that will throw a spanner in the works for local historians and have them scratching their collective heads
