Title: Yesterdays Finds
Post by: celticspikey on March 31, 2015, 08:27:09 AM
Not a great deal to show for the wow factor but some interesting bits none the less, ;) the Brocken brooch is another Colchester nice and early, the gold looking button had me looking at it in the clod of soil for a while with heart pounding and thinking my god my first Roman Gold :o, I would be interested as to what the bell like lead object is in the middle I am sure I have seen something like this before some where ??? but can remember when, I'm sure its from the roman period. The bronze ring was 10 inches deep and has the most lovely patina and feel to it, some sort of harness ??? once again very ancient and more than likely from the roman period even though we all dig these up and are much more modern ;) ;)

Well done Paul not to shabby at all, Is that yet another awl? I think your detecting near the local carpenters house if you happen to find one with the words "Property of Joseph" and "Made in Judea" written on it let me know ;D

At least you're being brave enough to get out Paul.  I hate the wind (no rude comments please) even more than the rain.

Some interesting finds, maybe your bell shaped item is a candle snuffer.  I have a brass ring, like yours, sitting on the window ledge outside. Beautiful green patina. Found it a couple of years back but now use it as a link for hanging basket.

Better luck with gold coin today  ;)
