    Roman and Celtic Iron

    Hello Friends,
    Here is some of the good iron targets I dug. The first picture contains a Roman tent peg, stone chisel set, and assorted nails. They all probably date 100 to 300 A.D. The last pic is 2 Celtic knife blades. The Celtics used very distinctive shapes for their knives. These probably date 300 to 100 B.C. It's easy to tell ancient iron when you dig it because it has almost no rust! The iron is so well forged there are almost no impurities in it. (Not like the rusty blobs of crap I find from the 1800s onward!)
