thanks paul even here in scotland no joy on other forums! so it will be taken to a museum for id, the law in scotland is very different to the english law, over here the crown owns anything you find thats older than victorian" so 1800 on is usually ok to keep pennies and so on.many  thanks anyway paul cheers from stickman!

hi paul yes you do get a finders fee if its important enough, the object has got great patina but i know it was once gilded the stamp does look modern or the person who made it was very good, its made from one sheet no joins or welds, the metal has a strange tinny smell all the pattern is made from very small punch marks at random ie: hand done. you can see this as the dots ar not staight and sometimes out of line many thanks for taking the time to look cheers from a very wet scotland!     stickman.
