I’d guessed 1200-1350 but the lovely Flamstead at the @DetectingHub found me an exact match on PAS. So yes it’s a 13-14th century strap fitting. Cleaned up photos below…
This is the most complete Roman brooch we’ve ever seen. Found and posted by a member this week. #findsfriday
This beauty has been posted on the forum this morning. Any ideas on age?
This lovely brooch was posted on the forum today. Please can anyone help with the type? It looks like a mix to us. Please note the semi circle of dots (half circle) on the head just below the spring - unusual

Sometimes a Bronze Age item turns up that really is more beautiful than the rest. Ever seen one like this before?
Yet another unusual & amazing brooch has made it's way to me. It combines late Iron Age & early Roman styles & no direct parallel could be found at the time of recording. It is perhaps a hybrid form or a return to an earlier type of fitting. #FindsFriday finds.org.uk/database/artef…
Late medieval strap-ends with moulded St Christopher (and Christ Child) are often found broken and incomplete. But, tantalisingly, sometimes the religious figures seem to have been extracted deliberately for use as amuletic figurines. #MedRit Images @findsorguk #FindsFriday
Got a coin you are scratching your head over? If you need an expert ID look no further than thedetectinghub.co.uk
Another one we aren’t sure about. Found on a predominantly Roman/ Saxon site. Not complete. We aren’t sure what it is, can you help?
We have some head scratchers this week. This has the look (and the right size) to be an Iron Age bracelet. Ever seen one as an annular brooch though?
Image Fees - there's an important development after a recent Court of Appeal ruling. It's Good News for historians and art historians (and art lovers generally). Long thread. >
We are looking for help again please. Has anyone any idea what this is and what it is likely to date to? It appears to have the remains of a white paste, like those turreted medieval brooches.
Another one for the experts out there. It’s bronze or copper alloy that appears to have had a silver surface treatment. Around 1.5 cm square on the top surface and around 5-7 mm deep. The top holes still have leather in them. Any ideas of age or usage? Maybe a toggle?
Here’s another stunning find posted on the forum today. Strongly believed to be silver gilt and appears to be a ram. We’re struggling to find anything similar and would be grateful for some pointers. It will be reported as potential treasure.
We’re having a bit of a mad week on the finds front as our experts are again stumped. Yes, here’s another head scratcher for you. Is it a brooch? Anyone experts that know what it is?
This stunning ring was posted on the forum today. The finder says you can feel every rib! The ring relates to Ricardus Richard Beardsley who is from Derbyshire but lived and died in London in 1731. Beautiful! thedetectinghub.co.uk/viewtopic.php?…
This unusual brooch turned up on our forum this week. Can’t find an exact parallel although a modern replica of an early medieval Danish brooch seems similar. So calling all experts - Viking or Roman?
