O.K. ,
sorry John
I think I did not quite get you, then, my excuses for that.
The possibility that the owner or the dolabra may have gotten "detached" is definitely not off-hand, --- as is, BTW, the affair with Aurelius Vitalis' gravestone/kenotaph, which had customarily been attributed to a participation in Caracallas earlier expedition.
(I could find no reference yet whether LEGIIII F [ and F or A ?] did participate in Caracalla's "german shopping spree" aka "Germanica Expeditio" in 213 -- Andreas Hensens'
summary on Epoch 2-2010 of his older "full monty"-paper is not specific on what troops
he took with him, then :roll: )
So, back to the main subject again:
Out of an "outrageously" high number of press-notes (well,--- ahmm , -- at least compared to other “archeological events” in Germany including Olfen --and except Kalkriese, of course)
two caught my eyes:
The first one:
In short, amongst informations that other notes gave already, ..
1) the new finding-spot is near Dögerode.
2)Pics of Mr. Brangs and Mr. Schwarz – the “Finders”.

The next one, amongst the usual “commonplaces” , is a little bit more specific on the finds there:
Besides the Dolabra (wrong notes under the first pic ! This is no spear, folks, --- it’s the dolabra! :mrgreen: )
a roman helmet, some lance-tips, one of them germanic have “popped up” yet.

Still waiting for more informations to show up
Yours
Simplex
P.S.
BTW: Prof. Dr. Moosbauer seems to be quite certain the inscription read:
"LEG(ionis)IIII (Flaviae) S(everianae) A(lexandrianae)"
