I just stumbled over this:

If you log into the forum you can see a picture of the Coolus helmet in the first post. I do not speak Dutch and google translator is only semi-helpful but if I understand correctly it was found near Nijmegen and the Valkhof museum is now considering to purchase it.
Jens, could you post the pic here? I cannot log in there... THX

I am not sure that I am allowed to do that but I have sent you an email instead. Anybody else who is interested, please PM me.
Thanks a lot! Big Grin
Just for those who are interested, a small summary of the topic.

At first it was thought to be a Coolus E, but it seems now to be a Hagenau type helmet. It was found in a field near Nijmegen and it will stay in the Valkhof museum for the time being, as the person who found it is in discussion with possible buyers.

The good thing is, it seems he's not after money and would like it to be displayed in a local museum. Big Grin But for the rest he doesn't tell that much about the findspot, etc.
