Found it in a field at farm. Next to river, light sandy soil.

Used to be a roman encampment in field I think. Groups of people from university spend days staggering over my rubbish ploughing looking for stuff.

Could be ‘Frit’ from the bottom of the kilns. I’ve got some - a beautiful green colour.
It’s now in Cornwall but originally came from Stoke on Trent - which may puzzle someone, some day.

The valuable one is the last picture, well it will be when you try and source a genuine replacement.
Otherwise the first pictures are a common and garden flint.
If you can find someone to buy it let me know as I can certainly find him several tonnes, and that is just from my 1/2 acre garden😂😂😂

Are you sure it wasn't found in a gateway where they used to burn the 8 stone fertiliser sacks in the 70's? ;)

Looks like solid lamb colostrum scour that looks like toffee and get stuck between the dogs teeth 😂

Does it fit in your hand at all? Or a woman’s hand would be a closer match? I found a flint years ago which was a perfect fit into the palm of the hand where people used them for skinning carcasses I was told?
