Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi,

    A friend of mine found this on a local beach and it is very curious. The holes fit exactly for your hand as if it was some.form of tool or scraper. Some say it might be an old jug handle, but think it's unlikely.

    It is a ceramic sherd and probably Medieval. It looks like a vessel handle in one of your photos.
    It’s a very interesting find and it could be very important. I would prefer not to make a guess based on the photos and the museum should be informed as soon as possible. The find site should also be recorded as accurately as possible.
    Thanks for posting up about this.
