I agree it should make the Banner, it is a very rare piece indeed, but how many people will vote for it:dontknow: because they perhaps don't know just what a incredible piece it really is.

The brooch would have been used to fasten a cloak or shawl at the breast.

That is about it. I for one wouldn't have had a clue what that piece was unless told let alone if it is special or not.

I do know that the solid silver shoe buckle is a special find on it's own. There may have been one other in my 6 + years here, and this one is perfect in every way.

I'll vote banner on the hunt, because I think the buckle worth it.

And that's why the banner voting system is some times un-fair, unless the guys who know vote, (and they probably won't be enough now who are still here) then finds like this will miss out, which is wrong.

Incredible finds, banner-worthy without a doubt. Best of luck in your continued hunting, and keep the pics/vids coming. We don't find things like that over here.

As some have already mentioned , getting this AMAZING Viking piece up on the BANNER is about awareness , and I think we
are going to need to be persistent in keeping this post and these finds up near the top of the heap - C'mon Tnet let's get
this done ! 1000 year old Viking trefoil brooch in great shape - never seen on this site before !!!

I might well have voted banner on the Silver shoe buckle - if it wasn't accompanied by the Viking brooch ! but that one just screams
BANNER ! (Thank's to Silver Searcher for the picture of how this brooch was utilized !)

When seeing Mr.Tells finds in the Norwegian forums, its a bit mindboggeling knowing he has a metalldetector, and not a vacum cleaner :laughing7:

This is just a gem! Banner for sure :thumbsup:
