Roman Copse Field - Day 5 - AMAZING FIND

[CRUSADER]

Cru'Dad & I spent 6.5 hours finishing off gridding the site, over the last few days we systematically gridded about 16 acres. We had double the runs this year to push the limits of the site & that tactic paid off big time!
The Romano-Celtic or Roman Bulls Head was very deep & out of shallow plough range in no-mans land, nothing else close to it, but it was halfway between 2 Roman Sites.

Yeap, the clay is heavy & hard on digging deep stuff. I was getting bored of digging deep iron & anything good was furthest from my mind, so when this popped out from the deep, I had problems speaking to Cru'dad. I just jumbled my words in shock.

The bronze bulls head is definitely the star of your hunt today Cru, I'm amazed at how big it is too!
That's something I used to hear quite a bit when I was younger!

Love the watch winder, still looking for one here in Ontario.

Here's a write up from the Colchester finds site.

arge 1stC BC to 1st C AD Celtic bronze bucket mount40mm H, 26.05gHere is an example of a similar one found 2012A cast copper alloy anthropomorphic bucket mount, dating to the late Iron Age and of some rarity

'This bucket mount is one of only a handful to exhibit human representations from late Iron Age Britain, and as such is a rare and important discovery'​

Amazing artefact! I would say Iron Age too. Very nice. It took a row of Gold Stater for the team to find this one and most people never get celtic gold in a lifetime. It's worth a Banner vote for rarity alone. You're on fire!

 

[robfinds]

Very nice bucket mount Cru.!!!!

[EasternShoreMetal]

Amazing! The ages and history of your finds always amazes, love the ring and the bull's head is really sweet. Nice. WTG!
