How nice to have ground that has seen some human traffic over the years. Judging by the number of cow horn protectors I've got I think there were more cows than people. In fact I know there were.
I love that little button with the flower, it's a Gentian by the way. Is there any sign of colour on it. As Gentians, in the main, are a beautiful shade of blue, it would have been lovely when new. Val Title: Re: Roman brooch. Post by: DEADLOCK on February 02, 2015, 11:04:21 PM Lovely brooch Doug.
