Another Dragonesque Brooch.

[Silver Searcher]

Today was supposed to be a look around day, just to check my main fields, and a couple of new ones Nothing had been ploughed , so I had a hour on a new field that had Wheat stubble some promissing finds came to light.

Anyway to save the day I headed back to were I got the Gold sovereign, it had been cut, but again Wheat stubble but I'd got a Hammered and a few Roman Bronzes the last visit

Managed a couple of Silver coins...no Hammered and four Roman Bronzes, then the supprise the top half of a 1st Century Dragonesque Brooch this is my second incomplete brooch, and our fourth in two years from this area

Super find SS. I would rather dig one of those than a pocket full of Roman bronzes. The complete brooch pix is Awsome, what a find. If I had found that, I would have had to take a heart pill for sure.

Strange thing is the field that it come from is very quiet, you can go for a hour with out a signal but the best stuff has come from here, so when you do get a signal....the Heart jumps a bit quicker

SS

I have a question ....
you only hunt Brooches and Roman coins in this field?

No Hispan...the field were the complete Brooch was found, is right next to our Villa site. The field is 35 acres and very quiet. We have had Saxon Sceats(2) Celtic Gold (1) and various hammered, and also the Saxon Key, and fragment of Bronze axe...but this is over three seasons. It has always been very hard to hunt here...but rewarding on occasions

SS

is a Roman cemetery (Necrópolis) located next to the Roman villa.
The Romans introduce coins into the mouth of the dead and buried with the best Broches.por this reason that they are always two types of objects together and nothing else, may be a Roman cemetery.( that all others finds are from different cultures not Roman)

I don't know Mate, it could be three have come from fields agoining each outher, and lots of relics have been found, but no bones of such the earliest coin (Roman)was a coin of Mark Anthony, and a 50BC Celtic Gold, so the site is very old.

A fresh spring fed stream runs right through the centre of the site, the source of life, and it's located in a valley, South and West facing.

If it is normal all the Roman villas were located near streams to provide water , etc ... you know.
beo now the tower of the Church ... is a very nice and relaxing field , lucky to be able to hunt in a place like this.

I have had some sites like that--and they are wonderful sites to work, because everything you dig, you know will be a good target. Some of the trashier sites, there is so much to clear, one can get a exhausted unless a great find surfaces. But the quiet sites, sometimes I lose my focus. It's tough to work a quiet site without a systematic grid.

Regards,

I agree Buck 100% a systematic grid on this site is what produces the goods, but it knocks hell out of the arm continuous swinging the detector with out stopping to dig

Yes we have tried the stream, but I think it would have been a lot wider in ancient times. The backs have been raised some, to avoid field flooding, and it's very overgrown
