I have a pewter replica of a medieval pilgrim shell badge found in the river near Canterbury on my pack, it has a small St James figure on it too. It reminds me of the long history of the way and makes me wonder about former pilgrims, their stories, their fate, their world and their hopes and dreams which were probably much the same as ours. Thanks for the photo!

I wonder if, in a few centuries, some of our patches, buttons and other sundry pilgrim swag will make it into the museums of our remote descendants and what they will think of us!
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Thank you Peter for sharing that with us. I purchased a pewter reproduction of a pilgrim's badge in the gift shop at the cathedral in Canterbury but it sounds different from the one described by Nidarosa. It depicts St. Thomas whose martyrdom there made it a pilgrimage site for many as well as the start point for the Via francigena which goes to Rome.
Deacon Jason, I'm sure they will thousands of years hence not just be puzzled by the detritus left behind on the Camino but by things in our homes. My wife always laughs about what future archeologists might make out of the little boxes of baby teeth she's saved from each of our children (don't ask me why) - were we cannibals, or was this part of some burial ritual?
Peace,
John

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
