This was our last day on this site, so with the windy & rainy conditions forecast, we spent the morning (3.5 hours) gridding the best area where the Roman silver had pooped up from. We gridded at 90 degrees to our last grid & slowed down making sure we went in every dip after every lump. This worked a treat & we had 19 more bronze coins, but sadly we had missed no silver.
After lunch we spent 1.5 hours finishing the last 5% of the area we needed to cover & its wasn't until my last run of the day that I got my best find - the Seal.
Also at lunch Cru'Dad spoke with the farmers son & found out 1 of the detectorist had given up on their farm about 4 years ago.
20 Roman Bronze Coins
2 Buttons
1807 Halfpenny
Roman Fibula Catchplate
14th C Medieval Seal Matrix - Looks like a Bee over Thistle (Doesn't do a good impression & some of the letters are hard to work out) Still a great finish to that field
