Title: More Roman!! Post by: celticspikey on February 08, 2013, 12:42:37 PM Since my last post I have managed to return to the field I had found the roman 4thc coins and have now increased my total to 17, :) whilst there are three different reverse designs on all the coins, and clearly a narrow date range I am not sure it is part of a hoard!, there is clearly roman activity here as can be seen from the pictures of the brooches I have now found, also large amounts of pottery and lead, as can be seen I have also found a little silver hammered Elizabeth 1st, plus a thimble and part of a roman ring, I would be interested in any thoughts on the small buckle being just over 14mm, I have found 100s of buckles over the years but not like this one, I would like to think it was roman as ever thing else has been, but could be medieval. The farmer has informed me the field should be ploughed next week so I am eagerly awaiting a return visit subject to the weather of course and will keep you updated on any future finds. I am of too Belan- Bach lodges in Llangadfan for four days tomorrow to explore around with a few friends might try and hide my machine in the boot (beaches) or maybe a sledge if the weather forecast is anything to go by will catch up on return.

Title: Re: More Roman!! Post by: cardiffian on February 08, 2013, 09:14:39 PM Celticspikey, is it definitely a buckle? My first impressions from the photo was that it could be a squashed buckle ring.
