Had a nice hot day with a couple of friends, they took me to a pounded out site. It was fun, nice company, good grilled meats, and a few targets
Got a nice roman coin, in good shape (need ID thanks)
A complete fibula/brooch, they tell me is from before the Romans, and my first complete one with pin
A roman needle folded
A tiny bronze ring
And some pieces of other two fibulas.

Thanks for looking and good hunts to all

Very nice day indeed! Good food and good finds. What kind of site was it? How do you supposed these were missed if the place was pounded? Just not gridding properly by the former detectorists? What country are you in again? I don't recognize the flag (although I probably should). Sorry for all of the questions, just interested.

Great finds Nu...the Brooch is a Iron-Age La Tène Brooch, dating to the 1st century BC - 1st century AD. I'll work on the Id of the coin, the reverse I haven't seen....good day.:thumbsup:

Thanks a lot for the I D on both items,that really is an old brooch! Thanks again!
Yes the fields are with very good soil, very lucky, my friend got a really nice gallienus, almost mint shape!
We worked the fields, which was huge for about 3:30 hours, three people, so actually 10:30 man hours, only to get two coins and two fibulas...so I think it's pretty hammered.
Thank you all!!
