Over the past few weeks, we have undertaken extensive work - refining and redescribing dozens of categories of sacramentals on the HunterPokladu.cz website. The result is a well-structured and detailed database that now includes almost 9,000 found sacramentals from all corners of the country. Added a continuous voting table as of 2.6.2025

It is no secret that I have been interested in sacramentals and crosses for many years. So not only what are the variants, types and methods of production, but also their fate. Some are common, some are little seen, and above all there is a huge variation. In my self-study, I have several times considered the ways in which they were probably worn and preserved. Today we can document with some certainty that their protective capabilities were exploited, they were nailed to gates, into the sheds of buildings and the roofs of churches. I won't list all the possible variations here, I would like to give you a closer look at the last and essentially definitive role.

The results will come in Wednesday night. I'm swirling the drums and opening the attachment. It's in there. Gold 73.734%, silver 25.004% and copper 1.262%, or 16.988 carats. I may have missed, but I'm satisfied....

The March finals produced 12 finalists who all climbed over 10 votes. I blinked back a tear a bit as several archaeological favourites didn't make it through to the final this time, unfortunately they weren't that well liked and it didn't help that admin gave them a vote 😊.

Pewter buttons are among the oldest we know and have been around for quite a long time. The first pewter buttons were certainly in production for the military in the first half of the 18th century. Fashionable pewter buttons appear to us in the second half of the 18th century and remained in supply until the second half of the 19th century.
