Title: Last 2 Trips Post by: celticspikey on October 10, 2015, 05:10:51 PM Hi guys and girls, here are my finds from the last couple of trips from two fields. The little William Sixpence was a nice surprise dated 1696, a few roman grots and the tip of a bronze age dagger, I will find a complete one soon Lol, But the best find for me was yet another brooch (minus the pin) what a let down!! The foot/catch plate is splayed forward on this example. Type or date feel free to say. Oh forgot to mention the roman part key ring in the picture ??

Title: Re: Last 2 Trips Post by: Chef Geoff on October 11, 2015, 11:12:14 AM Nice one Paul ;) The key would be my choice out of that lot, the brooch is (as many) classified as a Colchester derivative dating to 75-125 AD and mainly found in Somerset (so presumed manufactured there) it's not in Hattatt but is indexed as Mackreth 16a.

The key is my first in all the years of Roman finds for me so well pleased, I wondered why I could not find the brooch in my Hattatt books ? Appreciate your ID and thanks for the advice on the HLS schemes ;)Title: Re: Last 2 Trips Post by: Dryland on October 12, 2015, 12:22:02 AM Great selection of finds again Paul
