Gold glistening in the sun, feeling that Celtic horse and the weight of the gold, the buzz 🐝 of finding ancient gold never gets old.

This lucky detectorist I’m guess has found a few. Well done buddy, amazing find well done 🥰

The find was deemed a treasure and handed over to FLO from the St Albans Museum. The documents I received from the archaeologist say, and I quote, "Roman silver expanding clasp bracelet, c. 3rd-4th century AD." I'm currently waiting for a response from the British Museum, but unfortunately, it will take time. Best regards to everyone and I wish you a treasure find!

Excavation of the jersey hoard.

Good job there were so many as I’m sure a few were damaged with that grinding noise of metal on metal… 😂 still what an absolutely amazing discovery that was.
Can’t believe it was over 10 yrs ago now.

Well a lot more hassle than o bet the Romans had doing it, that’s for sure…
Still very interesting of the lengths we go to to protect and preserve our history and heritage here in the U.K.
