Some new objects...

[yo6oej]

Recently I discovered a few objects in the last discovered area.It's about two roman iron axes , one of which was broken , two mediaeval arrowheads , a hammer , a narrow hoe (dacian typology) , a regular ancient hoe , a very good preserved roman drill for wood (manufactured from high quality steel) , a mediaeval stirrup...An interesting object , unfortunately broken , was a bronze brooch larger than a regular one.I've never seen anything like this and archaeologists also have no idea yet.It is possible to come from the period before the Romans , maybe of Dacian origin...

You have found some very nice finds, the Brooch is unusual. not seen a type like it. This piece is called a Girdle Hanger, usually found in Saxon graves of Women...5th-7th C.

Girdle-hangers are an attribute of the châtelaines that are found in the graves of high status women in the early Anglo-Saxon period. Some elements resembling latch-lifters or keys have their origins in the Roman period. They are often interpreted as symbols of the domestic authority that Anglo-Saxon women enjoyed. Many latch-lifters and keys are made of iron and hang in groups from an iron ring.

Thanks "StormSurge" ! Well , because my friends here on "treasurenet" have appreciated dacian iron tools , means a banner for me
By the way , I was surprised a few days ago to find that Garrett rewarded me for dacian tools with a PinPointer (september "find of the month") Vaughan Garrett's September 2013 International Winner

Yo, That is a nice surprise and a nice article. Just think, your pile of rusty tools up on the winners podium with Gold and Silver. Ha Ha! I love it! And those Pro-Pointers are nice. I'm thinking about getting myself a second one.
Best of luck with your Hunting!
