I was the tenth to fifteenth person to see the broach in the finds box and part of the jaw bone on the edge of the hole. It made my weekend seeing that great find.There were other good finds that weekend, and they were a Roman bronze serpant ring, a gold Celtic coin and a lovely Roman broach. :) :)
