Sorry Nathan, I edited the post again but owing to a painfully slow internet connection, it took me nearly 20 minutes to post it up, so missed your reply.
I wonder how much the students knew about Roman helmets. That decoration looks too much like the decorations on the Hebron helmet and the fragment from Vindolanda to make me comfortable with the idea that the shape is a co-incidence. I wonder if the students saw there was just one and so concluded that it must be a repair covering a hole, rather than considering the possibility that there had originally been three more soldered on which had since disappeared.
