    Finders keepers! I would not give it to a museum either. Let them find their own stuff.

    but that may have been due to a piece of brass higher up in the hole.
    The only markings on this is X V on the inside of both half's. Click image for larger version

    And one of the many who stopped and talked yesterday almost took offense,
