Title: Re: stater and colchester brooch Post by: handyman [Alan} on July 16, 2009, 09:42:24 PM hi guys n gals
they were both found on recently ploughed land. i have yet to detect in wales, but hope to this w/e - trying out beach detecting for the 1st time...... if it ever stops blwddy raining. the brooch was only just below the recently ploughed surface, no more than an inch down. mrs handyman was diggin up a commodus dupondus at the same time. hope to see u all on the next rally. |
