Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 3:34 pm I found a little lead token, both sides the same: two squirrels sitting and some other signs. I found them in the UK : http://finds.org.uk/database/artefa...rd/id/200030 http://finds.org.uk/database/artefa...ord/id/95668 They think it is a late medieval token. Now it seems that they are used to seal a bottle of Johnny Walker Whiskey. The symbol on the token is the coat of arms of the scottish city of Kilmarnock. Report this Post to the Staff

ChrisHagen New Member Denmark 29 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 5:49 pm Wow, that's really cool! Until I read your description, I thought it was a barbarous imitation of a late Roman "two victories inscribing wreath set on altar" type. A bottle cap though - that's something new! Reminds me a bit of the lead Theriac container caps that are sometimes found by metal detectorists around the Mediterranean. Report this Post to the Staff
