Well it was good to chat to new faces at the rally yesterday :), however for me my finds bag was empty :( so with that in mind I headed of early to my medieval site and try and winkle a few bits , especially as it was dry. I only had a couple of hours but some nice finds came to light in the form of a nice roman hare brooch and a broken (crossbow brooch) these carried on well into the 4th century, it also has signs of being silvered. I have been out today as well and will post the finds tomorrow ;) ;)

great finds , I especially like that hare brooch

Well done there. Some nice finds. I especially like the hare brooch.

Like the Bristol token, I love finding Wiltshire ones unfortunately there usually in bad condition

Thanks guys, ;) ;)

Cracking finds,well done  ;)

Great finds well done ;) The Edward IV half penny is nice, Trefoils by neck mm crown Spink 2068...... I first thought it was the Bristol one I said to you im after, LOL

Wow, now that would be a coincidence Dale ;)will keep trying thou.

The coin im after has the same Crown mm also the Trefoils by neck, it might be worth clipping the London off that one :o

Nice finds well done ;)

Off with your head.... ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

lol  ;D

some great finds , would love to have a field producing that

Very well done Paul, a rally and a bountiful separate session all in one day, now that's good going. Love the crossbow brooch, they're virtually unheard of in Somerset, there's not enough remaining to give a definate on type but going by the uniform lobes I would say it's from the early C4th (they don't really start until the late 3rd). And the Hare plate brooch isn't too shabby either ;)

With land like that to detect it sort of puts everywhere else in the shade. Great finds again Paul. Love the Hare brooch. They made one from scratch, complete with enamel, on one of the Time Team programs, they must have been very popular.

Val

Well done Spikey - Love the Hare - great find!

As I told you on Sunday - Love reading your posts - keep them coming.

Cheers
Neil

Some nice finds especially that hare brooch. A roman animal brooch is up near the top of my wish list. One day maybe. Well done.

Some cracking finds  ;D . Very well done on the finds and it's great to see all the pictures.
All the best

Cheers Geoff, to be honest its the first I have found so it was a shame it is broke, but I never knew they were rare in Somerset  ;) ;)
