Low Yield Celtic/Roman Site - 2 Hammered +++

[CRUSADER]

This field was not on our radar but Cru'dad did a couple of short outings to find this option.
First field he tried was a bust, so he went next door & got a broken Medieval Brooch & a Pistol Shot (picture 1).
Then he did 1.5 hours on this site & got 2 scrappies, this was today's choose.
This low yield site has never produced a Roman Silver but we have had 1 Celtic Gold, but this short 3 hour hunt we had a little of everything!

11 Scrappies (+ 2 from the other day)
3 Iron Age (Celtic) 1st C BC Brooch, one was my 1st/maybe 2nd Continental Alesia type!
2 Broken Roman Rings
16th C Sword Pommel
17th C Leather Mount
18th C Clog Clasp
Nice Medieval Horse Harness Pendant
Roman Military Suspension Loop (never seen this type in any books) UPDATE: (From my leading contact on Roman Military) - ''Interesting photos. I have to say I don't recognise it. You are right, though, it does look Roman''
2 Cut Hammered's of Henry III, 1 short cross type & 1 voided long cross

True but Cru'dad IDed most of them, so at least we have good stats for the Site.

Thats a wide span of finds Cru! A day as i like. My fave is the horse harness pendant. Rare to find without broken off ears. Well done!

 

[Lost Signal]

Awesome finds!

It's not really surprising that I found the exact same furniture back plate in SC, but it's kind of surprising just how similar they are.

 

[Digger RJ]

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Yeap quite of few of this type has been posted in the US. Which makes sense as they are the most common type produced.

If my contact who wrote the book on Roman Military doesn't know & I've never seen one published anywhere, then it's another Rare piece for the growing collection. I personally think it's from a foreign Roman Military unit brought into the Country.

It's open to special invites only, however, because I've post ALL finds since 2007, a lot of it is open to all online.

Congrats on the excellent stuff as always. Question about the "voided" silver penny. Does the cutting void it or has it been clipped?

Love the hammies!! Congrats

A voided cross is after the usual Long Cross Type, so they can cut down the centre of the long cross. ie. it refers to the gap in the crosses design.
