I've been hunting a permission now close to a Roman fort and settlement here in Lancashire since spring now. I've had some great finds including gold, quite a few medieval coins bit only the odd Roman coin and not in any decent condition too.

So up bright and early this morning determined to find a nice denarius I toiled away. I decided to hunt around the field gate which I know a lot of detectorists steer clear of because a lot of modern rubbish tends to accumulate and oh how glad I was too.

I was finding the expected modern rubbish but I got a very scratchy signal thst I knew was deep. My pointer decided to run out of batteries though and I'd left the spare in the car and I was getting seriously frustrated trying to squeeze the last bit if life out of the pointer, I very nearly gave up i
on the hole expecting to find nothing anyway but then I peered down and could see a nice deep green patina. It then dawned on me what I'd just come across...a bronze age Palstave axe head circa 1400BC.
Maybe I've peaked too early I'm 2025 but I really don't care!
I'll give it a good clean and post it up later. Thanks for looking folks.
What a hobby this is!
Still no Roman though. A thousand years after them and now a thousand years before.
Maybe next time then 😉🤩

Won't find many of those in Oregon. About 1400 B.C.? Now there is a WOW factor. Good for you Urien. If only that thing could talk, and tell it's story.
 

I'd certainly take that over a grotty old Roman bronze anyway.

Certainly a great day it turned out to be.
Hope it gains traction and goes up on the banner.

Sweet.
Will this be reported or deemed a treasure?
 

Awesome! Can't wait to see cleaned up pictures.
