2 The Garrett Searcher April 2020 garrett.com Anglo Saxon Brooches Damien N. found these two large copper alloy, gold and silver gilded brooches. Here is his story: "My story begins when I gained permission to search a new field I'd had my eye on for a while. It didn't take long before I started finding things, including an Anglo Saxon brooch. Over the next few days I found more brooches and artifacts in the top soil, many broken by the plough. After a while I found these two large copper alloy, gold and silver gilded brooches. The plough had damaged and spread them over a small area. My excitement finding these items was off the chart as I had only dreamed of finding such things. The proper authorities were informed and a plan to explore the site by archeologists was put into action. Left to keep searching the site, I soon came across two deep non ferrous targets 12 inches or more down. Upon digging the first hole I came across some bones, so I promptly covered it and marked the site. The second hole I found human teeth, so I did the same with this hole. Archaeologists have since been and found it to be an Anglo Saxon burial site with many graves. It is being hailed a very important new site found on the east coast of Britain. Found by me using my trusty Garrett AT Pro!"
