Another Fibula and this is complete!

[Westfront]

This time i didn't say roman, but it is. We recently discovered a roman villa and had only one day to check out if it's worth the ride. Farmers start planting here... I say it is a virgin site. Just three hours with a buddy. My buddy got 8 roman coins and half of a silver ring. I got 7 coins and my first complete fibula/brooch in working condition. Tons of nails, lots of pottery and the house burned down at least one time, two coins were in a fire. Good signs! We'll hit that site after harvest for sure.

Nice finds you have there. Completely intact fibula's aren't real common.

This one two is a early type, the spring for the pin is the same as used on 1st century Colchester type...another great find

LOL my old biology classes got me. To me a fibula is a leg bone.

 

[Peyton Manning]

good lord man, you must have a chest full of old coins. the oldest I have is 1882
my imagination would soar about those coins and their history

That is a beautiful Fibula! Looks like you want to go back to that spot!!

You're slipping Lu. No pile of silver just some dern old stick pin thingy. Looks like after harvest spot number one. WTG!

I have seen on TV that the old roman coins are not worth as much as one would expect. If one of you gets some cheap roman coins I would buy a couple.

Most of them aren't worth much. Somewhere was a site in the States who sells roman coins. I didn't remember, i'll look tomorrow.

It's a diaper pin from the little brat that later lost all his parent's coins!

 

[Westfront]

Thanks all! Can't wait for harvest on that field but there are still a couple other options!

Way to go on the Romans. I like the Constantine/she wolf coin!
