It’s Wednesday again which means it’s time for another artifact! Our next mystery object is a light metal pail, however that’s not all it is. The pail has two m...etal planes that cross it. One, which crosses approximately 10% of the pails opening at its lip and another which covers approximately 95% of the pail’s opening about 5cm below the top lip. The pail has little feet on its outside, so it sits on its side without rolling around. What do you think this could be? Feel free to guess and discuss in the comments and share the knowledge you have! The answer will be posted to our Blog on Sunday at http://tyrconnellheritagesociety.blogspot.com/
