« on: May 08, 2012, 03:47:14 pm »
Hi guys,

I am searching the same pasture (Roman) land for a while now.

But i have three finds that miss identification , maybe you are be able to help me.

First find : Bronze, weigth 28 gram. On both sides its open.
Second find : Bronze weight , weigth 4 gram. Looks like a big ring.

Ty very much

The first one looks like a twisted up fibula.  Perhaps bent by modern farm equipment?

The first is a kraftig profilierte type fibula.  It could be broken but it also looks like an incomplete item.  One that was cast but never finished.  Hard to tell though in the state it is in.
