Hello Diggers,
I was lucky enough to find 2 sickle blades from the medieval period. These could date anywhere from the 1200s to the 1500s. It's difficult to date them beyond broad time eras. After cleaning and conserving them, I was pleased to find they both had touch marks from the blacksmith who made them. One is a flower design which the blacksmith punched 5 times (quite interesting) and the other appears to be three circles. I am very happy to add them to my collection. Thanks for looking and happy digging, Dave.
