Awesome granulation on those pieces. Consider that the beads were individually sniped from gold wire, melted to a bead on a charcoal block using a blow pipe then soldered to the piece using the same method, just amazing work...

I don’t know. All I find when I till my garden every spring is old army men and animal bones. At least that’s what I think they are ;)

Lots of those. The house we live in was once a drug dealer’s house we have been told by the neighbors. It was seized by the cops and sold to an acquaintance of ours that remodeled it and then sold it to us..............

This reminds me of a hoard that was found some years ago in England by some metal detectors. I think it was determined to be of Roman origin.an ornamental sword hilt and a ring, among other things. Quite a lot of pieces if I remember.

I’ve often wondered, why not Saxo-Angles? Seems like the Saxons wound up playing second fiddle...

So were the Jutes, who also invaded the British Isles at about the same time.
