Recent Finds...UPDATE ON SPOON.

Silver Searcher · Oct 30, 2011

I now have a new camera :headbang:

so I thought I would post a few finds from resent digs

I have not been able to get insitu pictures, which is what I like to take because of the recent loss of old camera (still waiting for it to be sent back $:-\$ )

Been a bit of a struggle of late with finds, the Villa field I think is coming to a end, spent 5 hours there yesterday with out much to show...new land beckons $:-\$ The new Camera is a Ricoh CX4 has a great macro :icon_thumleft:

One of the bronze roman coins found yesterday look like it was set into either the floor or wall of the Villa

it still has the fixing material on the back, I it find pretty cool, as the last person to hold it, could have been one of the workers that made the villa :icon_thumleft:

Seems the spoon is Roman after all :headbang:

http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/432221 like I thought part of a Cosmetic set :thumbsup:

I'm on a limb about the spoon :icon_scratch:

but it come right in front of the Villa, near to wear the Silvers come from, last week :icon_thumleft:

It could have been attached to a set of, see the loop.

That's a great mix of finds...I'm usually not a big fan of spoons but I think that one is something special!

Worth a little research, the hanging brooch type objects spring to mine, but don't know the scale. Wondering whether its for show, rather than use, or cosmetic :dontknow:

Roman, 90% sure. Nice complete, & unusual find, good one :headbang:

I'm off out, bye...

Amazing stuff you guys dig there. The spoon is a very nice piece for sure. Hey,the other object that looks like it has a wrench type end on it ,could that be a roman medical tool?

jewelerguy · Oct 30, 2011

olekyground · Oct 30, 2011

The coin's pretty cool mate, I had a livery button like that(not found)that looked like it had been under a floor tile. That was the conclusion Cru and I came to after a few beers anyway :laughing7:

Nice complete spoon too :icon_thumleft:
