That is an intricate item for that time.
Quite attractive.

At first I was impressed because I thought they found a 9th century Saxon disk in Norfolk, Virginia. Then I realized they meant the OTHER Norfolk. Ho-hum...

I’ve seen the brooch on The History blog. It is just amazingly beautiful. I could never get tired of looking at it.

It’s beautiful in its simplicity.
Almost soothing to look at.... make sense?

Hannigan invited some Saxons to a Hooley, and they wouldn't leave without something.

inexperienced detectoristThat sounds cool. I want to be a detectorist, but an experienced one.

Trewhiddle style.
There's a term for everything.

Fascinating. I follow the Thames mudlark group and well-known mudlarkers on Facebook. Virtually every day people are finding Roman pottery, medieval jewelry and more. They had talked about this find too, as detectorists and searchers in the US, Australia and New Zealand also find things.
I only visited the Thames shore once, in March, but cant wait to go back. In my few minutes there, I only found part of a 19th century pottery jar and Roman roof files (and possibly medieval tiles too). They find everything there from preRoman stuff to WWII shrapnel and Hindu river offerings.
To: Moonmad27
Nice. The Romans built a lot of stuff out of pottery, prefabbed for the construction sites.

So the guy who found it does not get mentioned by name. The Government took it. And the guy that found it probably won’t even get a new battery for his metal detector.
