I'm watching a programme on archaeological digs of Anglo Saxon sites in East Anglia. They were looking at bronze brooches. Some years ago I found a strange bit of green metal in the garden. I brought it in and know I have it somewhere but dismissed it as probably a decorative hinge off something fairly modern, never bothered to photograph it or

I hope you find it because I'd love to hear what the experts say about it...

They may of course say " oh yes that's a decorative hinge from a relatively recent box" but it was under the yew tree and would fit with the other finds from there if it is a brooch

It would be very interesting to find that out. One wonders who might have had their final resting place under your yew tree...

Well if they're not resting there it seems that they were very careless with their property :)

Whatever the reason, I am very curious about those items!

Me too!
