Roman and medieval finds on the pasture...

[yo6oej]

A few days ago I detected again some old areas but also a new place where I found a spear, a key,a hairpin, a bronze fibula, a small bronze buckle.
On a small height located at a distance of 6 km from the site of the first items I found traces of the Romans again, an iron flint, and after a lot of shell shrapnel, I detected a Roman bronze ring.

From there I went eastward distance of about 4 km along an old location where I was very surprised and happy to find something rare.It's about a bronze disc ring, beautifully engraved with solar symbol, stylized flowers and evil-eye that belonged to a german mercenary knight of the Order of Teutonic Knights in 13-14 centuries.

To have such a ring on your finger is a really fantastic feeling.I imagine that I'm dressed in armor, helmet, horse riding, sword, crossbow, with spurs to boots and wait the signal to start the fight or my turn to joust

So long and enjoy with the pictures my friends :

These rings are stunning! Never seen a medieval disc ring before. Both the roman and the knights ring are beauties! Your iron finds alone are banner worth because of condition....
Big congrats!

Well I think it's worth it...In places where I know there are signs appear old and old objects always go with "all metal"...So I found spearheads, arrowheads and swords during the Iron Age but also from romans or medieval period and were very well preserved...

Great finds. That disc ring is one of the most interesting jewelry items I've seen on here in a while! Congrats on the great iron finds too. I clear the iron out of my sites, and sometimes we get interesting and old iron finds. Either way, it's easier to detect after the iron is gone!

Cheers,


Buck
