Title: Bronze bracelet ? Post by: Romanick on December 22, 2013, 04:24:42 PM Hi,
Found this yesterday, looks like part of a bracelet ? any ideas on age ? It is 65mm long Title: Re: Bronze bracelet ? Post by: Neil on December 22, 2013, 05:35:58 PM Not sure on that one. There is a not too dissimilar one here.

Interesting find Neil Title: Re: Bronze bracelet ? Post by: carling2 on December 22, 2013, 06:20:24 PM I know this probably isn't much help but I found the same find last year {and just spent half hour trying to find it ;)} as to date wise it came from a site that has produced finds from celtic to modern,,so I wouldent rule out celtic or roman period,,if I can find said article will post a pic up.
