Hi TNetters 
Today I had this feeling, I don´t know if you have experienced it, you hold your breath and the small hairs on the back of your neck rise and you get goosebumps !
I was searching my newly found place from the Iron age. Many brooches and other finds have come from this place during the last two weeks. The finds reach from the Roman Iron Age about 100 AD to the early Viking Age about 800 AD.
I had a very good signal with my Vaquero and picked up a smal item full of dirt.
At first I thought it was some modern item like a small devise from a motor or some electrical instrument.
Then I noticed that there was a little bit of golden shining in the middle of the circle that was full of dirt.
I took my water bottle from my pocket and washed it carefully. The dirt fell out, and ...
THE MIGHTY NORSE GOD ODIN / WODAN STARED AT ME !!
As the first person for maybe 1.400 years I saw his face.
That was when I got that feeling that I mentioned at the top.
It is made of pure silver and the small face in the circle (messures 1,2 cm) is golden.
The find is with very big certainty depicting the highest god Odin / Wodan of the old Norse religion, because the image is known among others from the ancient Sceata Coins. It seems to be a small broche / clasp of some kind. The archaeologists will examin it more closely.
Today I am a very happy man !
This find is absolutely unique.
