Gold Roman Brooch ?

Post by Fishyp »

Hi
Myself and friend found this at the weekend.
It was found on stubble around 6-7 inches below the surface.
Presumably a brooch and it appears to be gold but beyond that we are no certain and would like any advice/suggestions please.
There are blue stones around the face.
Best wishes
Matt

Gold plated by the look of it. Is that corrosion and/or dirt?
