Title: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2016, 06:48:16 PM it has been suggested that the attached looks like a Roman Fibula. At the risk of boring you all I've taken another 4 pics. ( 2 pics on next post) What do you think ?
If it is then it's a monumental discovery for the area. Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2016, 06:49:27 PM 3 @ 4 pics
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: DEADLOCK on May 04, 2016, 07:01:02 PM I would say part a roman trumpet brooch looks the colour and the real deal well done Val xx
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Dungbeetle on May 04, 2016, 07:17:19 PM Yes it does look like a piece of trumpet brooch, get back on that field and find some more.
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Dale on May 04, 2016, 07:47:52 PM Val your getting to good at this :D Well done you!!

Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Dale on May 04, 2016, 08:04:26 PM Closer to Tenby Dale but new farm is further west. I thought you was from that area, I heard today there was a archaeological dig on in the area they have found stuff of interest but I don't know what era it is, il let you know when I know more, il be working there soon ;) Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: dingdong on May 04, 2016, 08:07:51 PM Currently there is an archeological dig going on at Llangwm, at the church !!
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2016, 08:07:58 PM That sounds interesting Dale. Wonder where and what. Please let me know.
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Dale on May 04, 2016, 08:10:10 PM That sounds interesting Dale. Wonder where and what. Please let me know. Il let you know when I know more, il be there the 16th May :) Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2016, 08:14:05 PM Sounds like Dingdong (Chris) might have nailed it. Just did a search for Llangefni on Google Earth and it took me way up north.
Where is it Chris ? Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Dale on May 04, 2016, 08:14:57 PM Sounds like Dingdong (Chris) might have nailed it.

Val its closer to you than that one :D Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: probono on May 04, 2016, 08:55:29 PM Certainly looks convincing - you've got the spring end - it's just missing (the pin of course!) the catch plate.
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: celticspikey on May 04, 2016, 09:24:39 PM First 2 pictures certainly look like Trumpet brooch Val, nice and early well done, let's hope there's a few more things to come from the field. ;) ;)
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2016, 09:28:37 PM Well I have to say WOW I found Roman (and I didn't have to go to Wiltshire either) ::)
P.S. Do you think I should send a pic to Mark Lodwick ? Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: celticspikey on May 04, 2016, 09:46:32 PM I would Val, I'm sure he would be interested.... ;) it looks like it could benafit from a gentle clean, and some renessance wax. ;)
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2016, 09:55:22 PM Tried that and a small piece dropped off and I haven't got any wax. Should get some, need it for the thimble as well.
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: nobby on May 04, 2016, 10:15:00 PM Welldone val :) ;)
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: wittsy1 on May 05, 2016, 04:46:56 AM See Val, what happens when you talk about Roman stuff. I would definitely send pic to Mar Lodwick. I think the Romans where more prevalent in West Wales than people think. Coin or coins next Val.
Title: Re: Is It or Isn't It Post by: hotmill on May 05, 2016, 01:40:32 PM Always nice to empty your pocket or pouch when you get home and find out something is more than the piece of crud you thought it was. I've recued a few things from the scrap bin after having a look online or speaking to someone.
