Title: That's what you call a brooch. Post by: avalon on July 17, 2010, 08:28:48 AM I found this earlier in the years alongside a river bank, it's a rare Saxon Composite brooch dated to about 670AD.
These were often buried in pairs, so you never know what I might find. (http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii225/chainmail_2007/saxoncompositebrooch-1.jpg) Title: Re: That's what you call a brooch.
