Never seen a brooch that old before. Looks pretty colorful.

Simon,

I still do not find them complete, pins seem to rot/rust away?

None of these have the pins!

great find doug and the others are great well done i suppose the reason you find them is the pin has broken off and its fell to the floor hence no pins

Three reasons I can think of, no doubt there are more.

Pin is maybe iron so rusts away.

Pin breaks so they throw the brooch away.

Deliberately broken and offered to the gods.
