I wanted to make sure the next time I hit this field it was with the kind friend who gained us permission to search it. He has yet to find a Roman Coin & we were positive about this field being the one to break his duck. He could only do a couple of hours in the morning as he is very busy. We agreed a strategy which I believe put him in the best place for a coin & Dad & I probed the limits. The wheat stubble is still terrible & it took a little while but I got a really nice coin (VOT X Reverse), as I walked over to show Dad & newbie, Dad got a Roman as well (talk about this one in a minute). So our strategy failed & Dad ended up with another two scrappies. Although the Newbie did OK with his first Roman Steelyard weight, nice livery button & a medieval swivel piece.

Nice little Bronze Bead (Roman probably).
4 Roman Coins
Nice Spur Buckle

As far as we can tell we found an UNLISTED (not in Sears) Reverse type Legend for an 'AS' of Gordian III:
IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG
P M TR P V COS II P P (S C in field) Does anyone has RICs, is it in there? Its no-where on the internet, from our study. This inscription was used on the Sestertius & Antoninianus but not the 'AS'. Must be pretty rare :icon_thumright:

So, not much but quality coins to add to the album.

After Lunch we tried a field across the road from the Celtic Gold land, it had promising signs but no really gems.

no idea, probably not that hot, but I never learnt it that way, the high 20s, low 30s is hot enough in UK speak. I prefer rain.
