I did 5hrs on one of my fave roman sites. I hunt this field for 5 years now every spring and fall. Still some finds to make even with competition. I just have to be faster than them... 
I wonder how many big finds turn up from time to time. I thought i had cleared everything big... The Bronze to Silver ratio is amazing this year about 25 to 1! When cleaning the finds i had a second look at the 'Un Centime'. I rarely look at these coins twice, this got my attention because of the stunning condition. Paris mint 'L'an 6' coins go for more than $100 in worse condition... The beautiful Denarius of Julia Mamaea Augusta minted 222-235 AD more than 1500 years older rarely fetch that much. Other finds were 4 Roman bronzes, fibula, ring and a bronze thinghy i first thought stylus. Another pic shows how much roof tile frags and bigger pottery shards sticks in the potatoe harvester every harvest. It will fill a trailer....
Fresh harvested roman silver...
