Nice, congratulations! It seems we need a new primer category for this.

This type of brooch is so rare... it will be a long time before another example of a nut-shaped brooch is entered here. "Brooch in plastic style with crossbow construction" is a somewhat more general category and also includes other, contemporary brooch variants.

There is always time, endurance, cold, heat, rain, mud and digging, digging, digging, then you will be lucky with your metal detector.

Anything is possible, sometimes there was just rubbish for three days and then there was something 3600 years old, anything can happen as Jan has already written. Dig, dig, dig and always remember that if nothing has been lost, you can't find anything.

Jes Martens recently compiled the Danish "ball fibulae", some of which are very similar to the nut-shaped fibulae: Open link: plural.upsc.md
