	Surprise find « on: October 09, 2010, 07:31:28 am »

Hi everyone, went out with my good mate Veg {Andy } and did a few local spots ended up with the usual modern coinage plus a surprise find a WW2 British officers artillery hat badge, when i found it, it was black and bent in a few places but after carefully straightening it and giving it a good clean came out surprisingly well..

Cheers Raoul

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
