Popular Post Randy Dee Posted February 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2019 I have had my Equinox 800 1 year this week and yesterday Sunday 10th February I celebrated with an extremely rare Celtic find from the period 100 BC (Over 2,000 years old) it is a 1st Century B.C. Celtic bronze "Eye type" toggle cloak fastener. Main body shaped like a human eye with a large bulbous pupil, the loop on the back would have once been stitched to the garment, It would function much in the same way that toggle fasteners on duffle jackets do. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Goldman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Congrats, Randy. I always amazed at how well mankind worked metal in ancient times and discovered alloys, like bronze, that gave copper the strength properties needed for useful tools and ornamental items. Of course, by 100 BC, the British Isles had been using bronze for well over 2400 years. Amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
