Dizzy Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Fascintating and are you allowed to keep it or do you have to hand it in to a museum or some other body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GL 2484 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I can keep this artefact, the link is to the Portable Antiquities Scheme where I record all my finds along with thousands of other finders . The record is available to Historians, Archaeologists and basically everybody who wants to use it . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Nice find but not surprising as Wilderspool and Stockton Heath is awash with Celtic and Roman artifacts as Well as Warburton where I uncovered the Roman settlement and a hoard of Roman Silver including a solid silver Roman snake bracelet, all now in Manchester Museum for future generations to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GL 2484 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Yes your right James . I have your video and book and the Time team fiasco ( Did they know what they were looking at ? ) . That is the second piece of Iron Age from the same small field the first being the Dragonesque Brooch I posted previously so they were definitely active in that area. Warrington is surrounded by all ages of history. I have a 'Wirral' type brooch in the 'Ancient worlds' exhibition at Manchester museum at the moment and have donated it to their collection when the exhibition is over. Thanks for your comments.

GL 2484 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 http://youtu.be/uQrBHNBm1mo This is my interview with Mark Olly on episode 2 of Lost Treasures, my Club mate Keith Wood also features . Probably seen by most of you but worth posting again ( Use it to keep your kids away from the Telly ! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yes Time Team was a fiasco, after they left I went on to uncover more evidence of military artifacts in the area. Really cheered up our Tony Robinson though !! Still unearthing artifacts to this day .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
