German Silver, Roman Silver and an Iron age Bracelet

[Westfront]

We decided to detect a site again and hit it at right angle to the grid we've done before. Not much expected, just to make sure we cleaned up well. Other than two scrappies in the main area a nice 1/2 Mark turned up as the first Silver today. Just at the turnaround point a row further a blue piece of glass was hoping for pick up. I could feel the surface wasn't smooth so i stopped rubbing off the dirt and waited for a careful cleaning at home and was glad i did. It's an iron age, exactly LaTene, blue glass bracelet frag with yellow/white strand overlay, dating to 3rd to 1st C. BC.
That makes the site 400 years older as we thought. Further away of the site a roman silver turned up. Badly worn with 1.9grams and something looking like a counterstamp. Great day by our standards!

that glass fragment could easily be worked into a modern bracelet as a center piece.

Wow Lu! As much as we try to predict human paths and movements, we are constantly being surprised. That bracelet is quite a well-received surprise I assume, and something that can be dated. Glad to see you’re out and about, and kicking arse buddy.

At first I thought I saw a galley on the worn silver so I thought of Marc Ant. but now I see a head on the otherside it must be another type of circa 40-55(ish) BC Coin.
