Cru'dad & I continued on with gridding the site which is still on cultivated land. They must be due to drill it this week, so time is limited. We spend 5 hours digging & just when I had given up hope for a good Roman Silver, after all the low grade debased ones we have had recently - BAM - Got one!8-) It's about as early as we normally get, other than the odd rare BC one.

Pictured today's metal working pieces to show evidence of the Site's name.:thumbsup:

2 broken Fibula

Funny enough that was Cru'dad's guess, but its an exact match for no.28, fig. 162 (T-shaped brooch, enamelled types, 1st-2nd C AD) in Hattatts book. Cheers
