Found some Roman Stuff.... Any ideas

[yusuo]

So I live the middle of the english countryside about half a mile from the first roman settlement in this country, a place called Carleon.

Anyway to the point, I was taking the dog out for a walk today and he decided to run off and started digging a hole, he got to about a foot and a bit before i caught up with him, and i noticed something pointing out of the ground, gave it a bit of a dig and came across whats pictured below, any ideas what it is, i know its roman because of where it was found and the design, so any ideas

Hm... looks like a boomerang...

It looks like a handle to a jug.

It definitely looks like a handle to something.

Is it metal or ceramic? (baked clay)

It also might be a lot newer than you think.

It looks like a 660-600 BC roman sex toy. The shape of it indicates it was used for entry into the vagina and the picture/inscription represents it was for mainly upper class women.

See I was thinking that, but its quite small so maybe a cup handle,but if it snapped off clean it doesnt look like it could of fit a hand through, so I was kinda thinking maybe like a bronze or copper pin, I have no idea really.

Looks like a handle to an urn or something.

You might want to get it appraised or ask your history teacher or something

You should speak with some museum nearby ..maybe they can start a excavation in the spot you found it.
It can be a important archeological place for them to study.

It has been dug up already, theres a mini colleseum here, as well as houses, theres a whole museum here dedicated to stuff found in the local area, few years back some guy found over 200 romans coins in a chest worth over $300k, but theres still loads of stuff to be found. As i said it was the first settlement of the romans in the UK people are forever finding stuff here. Ive got two broaches, and a few coins myself this handle? is new though so i thought I'd get a 2nd opinion

Lemme just call a buddy of mine and we'll get this figured out.

Would be funny if a couple moments before you discovered it, a person had no use for a broken handle and threw it in the ground in disgust.

A bit off topic, but I would be perfectly happy with a show where the cast of Pawn Stars travel across the world, search for rare and ancient treasures, and then lowball the owners... while enjoying their delicious Subway sandwiches, of course.
