@downthetrackred Sounds like a plan, but please do report anything you find to the PAS so historians and archaeologists can use! :)

@caitlinrgreen They are very nice. It's a shame the design has worn off but you can't expect anything else when they're that age. Can you?
@EquineAnn true, implies a lot of use for a very late coin! Doubly interesting as late Roman gold coins poss indicative of late Roman army!
@caitlinrgreen left? I'm asking because sometimes cultures are left behind after end of last civilisation. e.g. The Romans stole their God
@EquineAnn they're thought to have had quite a long life after the Romans left, yes :) my take on the period: http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/01/lincolnshire-anglo-saxon-or-sub-roman.html …
@caitlinrgreen Thank you very much for your information. I found it very thought-provoking as I tend to think of the Dark ages as a time
@caitlinrgreen This is amazing. 1) Why would one beat out the image of a Roman Emp? 2) why not replace with anything else?
@JWTorg it's def an intriguing piece, part of a wider pattern eghttps://mobile.twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/572336987698561025 …
@caitlinrgreen to make a pendant one side is upside down; on the original image, reckon the defacing accidental? necessary to add the loop?
@JWTorg I'd suggest heavy wear, rather than defacing, tho obvs modified for suspension---full details: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/546769 …
@caitlinrgreen Right! In that case, interesting relatively even on both sides. Would the wear come hanging at the chest or being clutched?
