Finally we are back in our stride with this Roman Settlement next to the Metal Working area. We gridded a huge area with very little trash & no buttons! Got lots of good finds in the 6 hour 15 mins hunt;

28 Roman Coins
19th C Sauce Bottle top (glass)
Tudor Clothes Fastener
Tudor bent Strap-end
Tudor Buckle
Roman Nail Cleaner (best of its type)8-)
Roman Bronze Bead
Fibula
2 Roman Rings, 1 1st C AD Romano-Celtic
My first coin & deepest of the day (below plough depth, that's why its so nice) - Maximinus II Trier Mint Follis AD310-13.:headbang:

They made really nice coins in Trier... :thumbsup: Perfect day! That bottle top is gorgeous! Never seen such a big piece coming out of a plowed field.

Nice example.
I assume you brought it?(if not nice save) Much easier to buy a cheap example of this relatively common coin (£10 ish) than to find one.:thumbsup:

It's a numbers game to get quality like that. It's not only has to have been lost soon after arriving in the UK, but it has to survive the ploughing & chemicals. Odds are against it.........

Roman Coin pic added to top.

UPDATE:
One of the Roman coins might be another extremely rare one, awaiting the expert opinion!
