Default Tudor thimble? (found September, 2007)

I found a thimble last month, which I think is from the Tudor period. Anyone wanna see my thimble?

Kind Regards,

Colin

Congrats on the thimble! I can not imagine finding anything that old, Beale.

Very unusual looking thimble. But very cool. I am sure you will be finding some great stuff in that meadow. Best of luck.

Many thanks to all of you. Unfortunately, the site is some distance away and may soon be under crop. Maybe next year!

Kind Regards,

Colin

Even something that seems common looms large when it comes from long ago. Nice snag, Colin!
