Hi guys, out with keepmeteethinthejar today on one of my sites, he was getting the hang of his Nexsus Bonanza its a learning curve and would be interested if any one has used one inland and there experiences ;) any way I had these 2 fine pieces. The first was the La' Tene Brooch (Wessex Type) 4th-3rd century BC. I love these brooches and have had a few from here. The other thing is a bronze Awl.  ;)

very nice mate well winkled when you going to invite a few from our club down to you fair land? :) :) Jokin mate :)

Oh now that is very nice!  Fantastic!

Really nice! The soil seems very kind round your way.

well found. you always find interesting items paul fancy swopping one of your permissions for mine  [lots of scrap on mine,] lol    good luck to you may you find many more interesting items, i look forward to your next post.  gary.

Benny,   you wouldn't like what Paul has to dig, it's all stones, lumps of chalk and a bit of dirt thrown in.  That's the main reason so many of the finds are well preserved.

Very nice find Paul.  If only we didn't have such acid soil over here.  I'm amazed at the Bronze and Iron age population around here but anything they left behind has long since rotted away.  That has got to be the best early Iron Age brooch I've seen.

That certainly is "museum grade" and as Val says probably the best example I've ever seen ;)

Say £500 a day and we don't tell the farmer and limit it to 500 peeps...mmmmm that's next years hols sorted jay ;)

Thanks hot I'll appreciate your comments ;)

Cheers Gary, sorry about the scrap  ;)

  I love the Flint Val, as you know and it does do something to the protection of the artefacts for sure. I will pop up a picture later of a bigger example of this brooch later found close by, then decide if this one is best example  ;)

Cheers Geoff, the pin was not located in catch plate when found so I gently and stupidly some may say eased it back. I know!! I should know better it just looks better. It is strange as I have found a few of these and they always have pin in tact never missing....thankfully ;)

Great finds AGAIN Paul good land is the answer.... :o

A stunner of a find. Well done.

Great finds Paul,good detecting,that's what does it !!👍
