I am so pleased with this little beauty. I've been detecting about 9 months now and this is my 1st ever Roman item and what a nice item to start with.

It's a Roman Fibula Brooch with the pin intact which most pins are missing.

Does the style hint at a possible date? I bet its older than the wheat penny I found this morning. :grin:
