It was a promise ring. When the woman's finger turned green and she scratched the stone, she realized her intended wasn't the man she thought he was. She whipped it off her finger and threw it at him. It bounced off his chest and landed in the grass under the apple tree. There it stayed until Simon Bourne dug it up with the help of his rescue chickens.

Si, this old yankee lady enjoys your videos so much. Love the historical finds, since I am also an amateur historian and really enjoy UK history. Would be so cool to have a pint in your garden and chat and watch chickens. I used to keep a good flock, myself. Interesting little dinosaurs. Keep up the good work. One of your many fans. It is my fantasy to get across the pond and maybe participate on a mudlark! I live in AZ and often find small shards of ancient native pottery in my backyard. There are a number of old Sinaguan ruins not far from my house.

When you have bent items made of zinc diecast they can be straightened without breaking by heating in a house oven. Heat to 350 degrees, bend a little, heat again until straight. I have used this method on numerous vintage car parts.

Thanks Si. Remarkable what you found in your own garden plus you had the sweetest chickens for company! Love Victorian rings. They many times have secret meaning. If you hold it by the band with the stone pointing down towards the ground , the setting and stone form a basket with the band as its carrying handle.💜

Si, the Meccano marque was dropped from Dinky cars in August 1935, so that model must pre date this, nice find !

Unfortunately thats not true, right next to me is a dinky triumph spitfire that says Meccano on it. The details and layout of the base plates changed and you can date them with the right guidance, lots of help is available online. With that model of truck a good rough guide is that smooth wheels are pre war and wheels with a ridge are post war. Not 100 percent but good approximation.

Hi Si-Finds love your work channel a big inspiration for us and our kids we've been digging in an old bottle dump in Keswick in the lakes and found some good glass just wondering which bottle cutters your familiar with and if you had any recommendations many thanks.

@@Sifinds i had a really random question, do you have particular access to old maps to research old dump sites? Or is it readily available?.. i have tried to find some for where i live and many dont go particularly far back and those that do dont have much info on them!.. not the info im after anyway! 😁 Very jealous of your hobby.. i moved from London 10 years ago to Plymouth and wish i spent more time doing exactly what you do! Maybe i was too young to appreciate it!
