Went out for a few hours today, and pulled up an unusual Roman brooch intact with pin. Looks like a type of plate brooch I think, shame some of the enamels fallen out.

What a stunner of a find. Only ever found One roman brooch and it pales into insignificance with this one. Well done indeed a find to be proud of.

The Romans must have been very careless in Gloucestershire, there togas must have been hanging around there knees, with the amount of brooches they lost. Either the pins have just broken or the were burried as an offering to the Gods.

Here are a few more, i've found over the years.

Still need to find a few more to beat my mate Dean who was on the cover of January's issue of Searcher, he's about 50 ahead at the moment but i'm gaining ground. Worcestershire is even richer in Brooches than Gloucestershire, if you know where to look.

What a fantastic collection Shocked. They must have walked around Wales in their birthday suits  Grin. A country of Roman naturists with just a few shy ones wearing togas and losing a few brooches   Grin

Well done Avalon - a collection to be very proud of.

This is my first year of detecting,one of the reasons for starting this great hobby was my love of all things Roman.Sadly I have not found anything Roman yet.I would cut my right hand off for a day out with you,great collection well done.
