I found this earlier in the years alongside a river bank, it's a rare Saxon Composite brooch dated to about 670AD.
These were often buried in pairs,  so you never know what I might find.

Thats indeed a rare and beautiful find Avalon - cracking photos as well.

Thanks for posting it. Any more Saxon finds where that came from to show us?

When I find the Saxon hoard to go with it, then you can be kinda jeralous!
