Title: Detectival finds
Post by: simond on September 18, 2017, 12:29:58 PM
I went to Detectival last weekend and had my first Roman brooch a lovely little trumpet 100-175AD, a Radiate (ID appreciated) and the largest musket ball I've ever had! (loads of musket balls) FLO said a miscast ball but don't what from? Some lovely stuff was coming up  ;D

Big ball looks the right size for canister shot, lots of musket balls there so maybe it was a  battle or skirmish site, in which case maybe they used cannons against opposing troops?
Nice brooch.

Apparently there was a civil war skirmish in the area, also a hunting lodge nearby
