A HASLINGDEN man found a Roman brooch – in the form of a miniature shield – in a field in Ribchester.
Alan Pickering, antiquarian book dealer at Holden Wood Antiques, in Grane Road, Haslingden, found it using a metal detector beside the river in Ribchester.
The field had been ploughed for the first time in living memory.
A raised cobbled area was also discovered in the field, and a couple of other objects given to the Roman museum in Ribchester.
