In southern Lower Saxony, the situation with disc brooches seems to be "Westphalian". After only two years of intensive prospecting, around 30-40 brooches have been found in centrally located settlements (near the transport and trade routes) from the 9th to 12th century. The quantity also surprised us! 😄
