Metal Detecting

Hi all, first post for me. I found these on my first permission which is a pasture field very close to a scheduled saxon monument and there have been quite a few roman finds in the area aswell.

Im hoping the 2 brooches are roman.
Ive got no idea at all what the hourglass shaped lead item is. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Nice finds! The lead item might be a dumbbell musket ball....Others will no doubt identify the brooches.

Hi, and welcome to the forum, jml.

As Phil says, someone will be able to shed more light on the brooches.

That’s a very encouraging start on your permission.Well done.

Thanks guys, Id never heard of dumbell musket balls if thats what it is. Fingers crossed someone tells me the brooches are roman.

1st - 2nd century T-shape & bow & fantail brooches.

2 Roman brooches on your first permission- can't ask for better than that. Well found

Wow, thanks allectus. I never thought i would actually find anything roman. Can't wait to get back out there now.

First permission and two Roman Brooches that's amazing well done,and get back there ASAP

Wow, what an awesome first day out on your new permission. I'd be well chuffed with those finds!
