THE earth has given up another of its little secrets.
After recent reports on this page about strange coins and odd mementoes being dug up locally, we have more of the same. And this one involves a bit of yedscratting.
It's a lapel badge in brass, spaded up in his Moss Bank garden by Dave Leyland.
The size of an old penny, it bears a mysterious design involving the entwined large letters B,A and C. The A, in the middle, vaguely resembles pit-head gear, and beneath this, in smaller lettering, is LTD. On the reverse side is the number 7091.
ANYONE able to identify this strange find for us?
