🥇 BANNER Day 1 - Hill Top Field.....AMAZING ROMAN SEA MONSTER!!!!! - UPDATE

[CRUSADER]

Could I wait for my 2 days off, could I bowlegs. I left work early today to start my holiday

Dad had tipped me off where the Saxon Sword Pommel had come from & where I should start detecting. 1st rule always ignore your Dad's advice, they know nothing I started where my gut told me too!
First run I got a roman coin & on that same run I got the best roman brooch I have ever had;

2nd Century import from Gaul (France). Sea Monster called a Hippocampus. The head of a horse & the tail of a fish. The pin still moves. Its a very rare brooch in amazing condition. I can't explain how happy I am with it.

I had 7 roman coins all with some detail in 2.5 hours by myself!

Is it going to be a good day tomorrow?, more importantly will I sleep!!

I believe he has made it MANY times, and all times justifiably so, and if he keeps digging awesome stuff like that he will be making the banner many more times as well....

That is one of the coolest finds I have seen. Man talk about old and what great condition. I can see why you are so happy. I would be two feet of the ground if I found something that old and that nice. Great piece of work and congrats on your find.

As much as I love the fantastic coins dug in the UK, the incredible brooches, Celtic artifacts, and the like are the finds that make one's head swim.
It makes those times zoom closer.

Thanks for posting, Congrats on the wonderful find and the banner, and Go Gettum on further hunts there (!!! after all 3 )

Any guesses as to if that broach may be "one-of-a-kind"or something that could have been cast in quantity. . . just wondering

In any event. . . a wonderful find
