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.

Man am I paranoid every time I see the words old & strange in the title I think y'all talking about me.

Bronze age foundry, cool. Lee any chance of a picture of the site without you giving up to much.

or perhaps just an 18th, 19th, or early 20th century foundry that specialized in bronzes (bells and small statutes)

We ARE talking about you. You're not paranoid if you're right, mate.
