Re the coin collection: very nice! but what is the object on the bottom left of the picture? Looks like a sword or a dagger blade. Very much resembles a dagger I have, which has been identified as once belonging to a border reiver. I`ll post a picture.

I've not got a better photo of the blade unfortunately, but it does look like something more modern than Bronze age - could be something like what you suggest.

There is a good selection of Bronze age weapons in Alnwick, from all over Northumberland. This little lot from the 'western hills' if I recall Ingram Breamish etc:




A Bronze age sword was found in a rock pool at Bondicar recently. Not sure what happened to that.
