'"The head on the coin was the spitting image of her. It is so ironic that she was born close by to where I found it and that it is also from the Iron Age and she was the Iron Lady."'

Either way, nice find.

[BGHater]

ping.

I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and
again..

looks more like the guy who found it... IMHO

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

There can be only one.

[badpacifist]

Maggie Thatcher finally had her face put on a coin, albeit retroactively...

[uglybiker]

My gawd! The resemblence is uncanny! < /sarc>

I'd say this is more evidence of one of Picasso's ancestors.

Oh, come now, surely it means Maggie was one of Dr. Who’s companions, brought forward in time from the Iron Age to save Britain during the Cold War. You know, the way Rose Tyler will save humanity from the Daleks a few hundred thousand years from now. :-)

Cave drawings and African masks were part of Picasso’s inspiration for his abstract expressionist style.

So the British government gets to steal the coin from the finder, right?

[BGHater]

Yeah, only if it’s ‘Treasure’. They don’t steal worthless stuff.

An Omen perhaps?
