Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

Trying to finish the bottom of the field I have been doing before moving on to a better one (I hope) which has just been harvested the other day.

Spent just less than 3 hours after work.

5 poor condition Roman Coins (average on this field is less than 1 an hour, so pretty good)
Very worn 1852 Silver Sixpence - Victoria

A nice Roman Brooch with some green & blue enamel - have a couple of this type but this is the largest.

And bits........

Re: Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

Unbelievable the things that you find! Great Relics, I ALWAYS enjoy your posts. By the way, thank you for I.D.ing that Nipple Button for me a couple of weeks ago. It is very rare to find something from the 1600s here in America. To be able to find stuff like that, and on a daily basis at that, is a metal detectorers dream! Great Stuff

Good job, bud, on the Womans! You know how to walk on the steps of Roman dudes who were careless with coins.

Re: Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

It's always interesting to see your finds Crusader. You come up with stuff a couple thousand years old instead of a couple hundred like us in the U.S.

Re: Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

Cool finds, the broach is wonderful. Congrats!

I see that even in Roman times, people "holed" some of their coins.

Re: Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

As usual you have come up with some awfully old stuff. It amazes me that you know what that stuff is; most of it looks like blobs to me...I'd be throwing it away! I guess if I ever get over there I will need a babysitter!

Ditto.
I thought that was Olive Oyl on that coin.
Congrats Crusader. You never let us down.
Great hunt.

Re: Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

Wonderful finds!
I'd be content for a day's worth of finds to span just ONE century

Re: Roman Brooch & Silver Sixpence

I'm headed over that way in about a week and the same thing worries me. I won't be able to recognize a brooch from a fibula from a tibia or a part of a plow. I'm gonna need some babysitting for sure.

I have a feeling I'm going to be dragging EVERYTHING in from the field. If there is as much iron crape there as there is in the Netherlands, I'm going to need a bigger trash pouch.

No its described as a Enamelled Headstud Brooch - 2nd Century AD. Also Fibula's are Brooches.
