He always responded quickly although he had to dress up for the job. Owen didnt like having his photo taken but Kate was quick enough with the camera here and anyway, he was in disguise!.A number of items from Owens collection of metal detecting finds appear in this Bulletin - see also page 406.Metal Detecting Find - 3From the collection of the late Owen RobinsonA gain these were found by Owen Robinson down Mucky Lane (see also pages 19 & 4) on the South side of Bishop Wilton. They are identified as Love Tokens and supposedly they were kept by young men to give to their girlfriends.
