While not the grandeur discovery, these little morsels of color, shape and design are still fun to find. My quest for the Queens jewels continue ( ha ha ), but i'm still having a great time picking up the common mans' junk. Below is an assortment of pottery, glass, pipes, china and bits and pieces. Also I managed to take a few pictures along the way. All comments are welcome, as I am not 100% sure of what each item is.
It appears as an angel blowing a horn and some person of religious importance. Comments?
