Spent 3 hours in the rain which never bothers me, but the sticky clay reminded me why I don't like wearing high heels. :thumbsup:

We think we have mapped the limit of the Roman Site, but will continue until we reach the hedge.

10 Roman Bronzes Coins
1790s Halfpenny Token
Nice 18th C Pewter Button with rose
2 Tudor Book Clasps
Medieval Strapend
Nice Medieval Buckle with pin
18th C Silver Clog Clasp (only my 2 or 3rd silver type)
Small bit of a Roman childs Bracelet
Roman Locking Pin Head (part of a lock mechanism) - one of the best preserved I've found, these turn up on most of our good Roman Sites.

Cru'dad got the Freak Find - 3rd-6th Century BC Brooch, so a circa 2400 year old Brooch :o Only our second from this hard to find period :icon_thumright:

Perhaps a picture of a 2400year Brooch might help him.

Several reasons why it not Roman, however as you know better, I'll take your word for it.

I just found it interesting that the first post you have made for a month (ish) on my post is to tell me I might be wrong & not to say well done for the rare Saxon Sceat for example :(

Seemed to be, as it had copper patches & it was under-weight.

Crusader, it is clear that you, like me can not detect with the rain .... but the rain stops and return have been very successful .

I also try to simplify the names of objects .. but we have to start calling the Broochs before the sixth century AD C. with the name of the fibula, the problem is that outside of Europe are very few people know what a fibula.

The fibula = Until the sixth century after Christ.
Brooch = Back to the sixth century after Christ.

Banana = Tropical fruit..... some people use for pleasure. :D
Greetings!

It's been raining here for the last two days, not to mention cold and muddy, so not that I have an aversion to rain, in fact I love being out in the rain, I was more worried about how my Tesoro would feel in the rain. But, I see I over mother-hen it a little bit and will give it a go later today, minus the dachshunds, who hate the rain. Thanks for the impetus.

Nice finds as usual, Cru. Got a fibula on my list, too.
