First picture with the 6 buttons & 6 scrappies was Cru'Dad's hunt from yesterday confirming a new Roman Site on a new farm. Only a small deal, not a great site but will need further investigation.

Now onto today, what can I say.:wav:

Started the morning with my first run, first dig being a stunning Roman Silver, first from Fan's Site. Thought that was our kiss of death. But I got 2 more debased ones as well.
For completeness we gridded the very edge in an area where no Roman Coins come out & Cru'Dad makes his funny noises that I can only take to be a Gold Coin. Running back, as I'm always in the lead, I'm shouting 'Celtic Gold'....'No' he says. Well I'm thinking not a Roman Gold (never had one) so shout that out....'No'....I can't guess anymore because Hammered Gold is so far from my mind in this area (we get next to no Medieval) I just gave up.:notworthy: So he now evens the score with 2 Gold Hammereds each.

16 Scrappies
Nice Roman Fibula (1st C AD)
Part of a Roman Bracelet
Late Medieval Leather Mount
Mystery Roman Hollow thing
3 Roman Silver - Sep Sev, Gallienus, & Vespasian AD68-69 8-)
Gold Quarter Noble 1413-22 of Henry V.:headbang:

WOW!!!!
Hutch.
I think he's trying to compete with you this year. Strange how that worked out. (both same year)
Years ago Cru'Dad got our first gold hammered, only the next year I followed suit.
Big Gap.....
Last Year I pull in the lead & the next year he follows.
So probably due another Big Gap?

Nice one Cru Dad :icon_thumright:

Yeap, just kicked it in the surface layers trying to see if the not so great signal would improve. Cortes fights back.

I bow to the almighty Cru'Dad! Gotta love it when the kiss of death shows mercy and the day is full of great finds. Your Roman silvers are pretty awesome too. Now, a Roman gold must be in your future.

Don't bother pressing the button, it was a non-members find, so doesn't count - cheers.

Yeap, to find new sites every year takes research, simple when you know how. It's just the knowing bit that's tricky.:thumbsup:

Plus it always helps to have an extra back-office networker working hard in the background. Land-Mag the silent partner.:hello2: Plus his trusty dog that found this site for us....lol
