Unfortunately this is not my find, it was found on our Roman site by my detecting buddie Michael it's not very often you see these come out the ground, never mind fully intact like this one This is the Third from this site
Dragonesque brooches are a form found mainly in Northern Britain, especially the region of Brigantia and into southern Scotland, but on occasion examples are found in southern Britain and even mainland Europe, as far East as Hungary. They appear shortly after the Roman conquest in AD 43 and so are essentially a Romano-British product; they do however embody native artistic taste in both form and decoration. Many are decorated with cells of contrasting coloured enamel.
Well on to my finds managed 4 Silver coins :P one a very debased Roman Silver, my Third William shilling this month a sixpence, and the Best of the day for me...a very small Edward1V Hammered Half Penny You know the machines
doing it's job when you get these tiny coins
Managed to get six Roma Bronze coins, one with some nice detail the coming weeks look like being good, as our fields are going to be ploughed, the field were the Brooch come from was deep ploughed today, but very heavy going, the Brooch was just laying on top of the soil
