We’ve also recently had two nice finds in from the Gayton area, both recovered by members of the Northampton Detecting Association. The first is a lovely Late Saxon cloissonne brooch (NARC-C34DE6), featuring an intricate design using cells of coloured glass. The second, less spectacular on first sight, is equally interesting. It’s a rough flint handaxe (NARC-FD1537), probably dating to the Lower Palaeolithic (it is thus hundreds of thousands of years old).
Both finds are recorded on the database as ‘Finds of Note’.
