Email from Caroline the FLO to myself and Kevin Leahy
Dear Kevin, Corinne,
I deposited the fragment at the BM yesterday and had a very nice chat with Lesley Webster. She also read the runes as described by Prof Waxenberger, but did not commit herself to a possible reading. Perhaps she has heard from the professor as well? It will certainly be interesting to hear from David Parsons next week.
The gold buckle fragment was found at XX XXXX XXXX, a little distance away, but certainly not a million miles. It is within the same farm boundary. Lesley will be looking at the gold composition of both items and XXXXXXX Museum are happy to have the buckle fragment made available if need be.
Anyway, all looking very interesting! Lesley is taking her time before committing to what the object may be.
Will let you know when I hear David’s thoughts.
Regards
Caroline McDonald
