(4) On the last segment of the road, we found : 6 iron ancient knife blades, one knife with iron blade and ornate bronze handle, with hook (probably modern), 12 iron arrowheads of different typologies, different iron nails, a fragment of copper armor, a fragment of a dagger sheath, a bronze brooch from the roman period, a small roman firestarter, a simple roman bronze ring, iron buckle with needle, iron button (pommel) from the handle of a sword, a mediaeval iron spur with detached rowel, also having the clamping system, a complete mediaeval iron spur, also having the clamping system, a mediaeval iron prick spur, probably from the period of migrations, a key of iron, 2 mediaeval firestarter, an iron fork, probably from the medieval period and a beautiful silver medieval brooch, of rectangular shape.The artifacts presented in the 4 posts, dating from the Iron Age and roman antiquity, until the migration period, the Middle Age, can write part of the history of those places...Thanks for watching !
Enjoy ! :hello:

Awesome! Part 4 did not disappoint. Great finds and pics. I especially like the beautiful silver medieval brooch...she's a jaw dropper. Congrats!
 

Superb recoveries. I wouldn't call it quits on that track anytime soon. And that brooch is amazing. Don't think I've seen anything like it on here before, not even with Crusader's staggering list of finds.

Cool finds! Are you sure it's not a buckle instead of a broach?
 

Awesome stuff! You need to write a book about this haha. Way to go on some sweet finds.

Thanks, although silver I'm not sure it is a Medieval Brooch. Although even if an 17-18th C buckle its a type I haven't seen either.(so a reference is needed)

All very nice finds.:hello2:

Sure it's a brooch, because it's too fragile to be a buckle...

However, I think the object is a brooch, which was attached to the hair or the women's clothing. A buckle could not be because it is too fragile, it bends very easily being silver and I will not see a trace of a needle.By the way, in Romania the year in which the Middle Ages ends is considered to be 1821.I am also curious to know from the archaeologists the story of this object, as well as the spearhead engraved from the post no.3.
 

Quite the nice assortment of finds. Keep them coming. :thumbsup:
 

I think you have enough to start your own museum. Congrats on some more spectacular finds!!!!

Yes, please update us.
 

:hello:
Lovely find and great pictures. The silver item to me looks to me more like a decrotive belt fitting:headbang: I would have no problem dating that to early medieval period, the pattern looks to me to be hand tooled.:icon_thumright:

What an amazing post! Love those arrowheads!
