Managed an hour out this morning with the new Deus, (new to me) took it to a roman site where my T2 is not so great and I was well impressed with this machine, as I said only out for an hour and I managed a brooch and a couple of grots Smiley any ideas on the type? It's about 40mm long.

Nice fibula Herbie - our man Cheffy is DW's very own Hattatt when it comes to Roman brooches, so I am sure he will give you a type and I dare say even a date give or take a year for it!

Well done

Nice brooch.

Was it deep - I don't seem to be getting much depth out of mine - but I think that's partly to do with the weather at the moment.

Well done Herbie to find one complete with pin is unusual but to still be done up it makes you wonder just how they managed to lose it, it's an early Colchester brooch "probably" Hattatt 1458 these are dated 43AD-100AD though I would fix then a little tighter to around the Boudicca rebellion so 55AD to 75 AD Wink

Cheers guys and thanks for the id Geoff Smiley Still puzzling to find such early brooches, and yet, with the exception of a Celtic bronze core I only find late coinage on the same site.

Was about 6-7 inches deep Probono, gave a cracking signal, my T2 would never have found it, too much ground interference.
