Roman Metal Working Site...

[CRUSADER]

As our options are so poor right now I decided to brave the ankle breaker which they are leaving over Winter & will drill a Spring crop.
It's only a 7 inch turn, some places are bad & others have fallen a little flatter. After 6 hours of gridding the good & bad my feet & ankles hurt a little from all the tripping & twisting but it was well worth it. Cru'dad helped for just over 2 hours.
Weather was T-Shirt kind of day, in the middle of Oct!

37 Roman Coins
Pot Shards
Animal Teeth
Metal Working pieces
Fossil
3 Hobnails
Tudor Clothes Fastener
Roman Ring Key combo (Never had a complete one yet!)
Complete large Roman Hair Pin - great survivor.

I don't know how are english laws but you can really go on a hunt in a antique site without any trouble?
In France, it's forbidden and it can go up to a seven-year prison sentence (and a 200,000 Euros fee).

We have the fairest Laws in Europe. We work with the Archies, not against them. As long as I have an agreement with the Land-Owner & its not a protected site, I can legally detect.

So to answer your question, yes we can do it with no trouble. We have never been in trouble with the Law.

Impressive ! Unfortunately I can only dream of such great laws in France. Relations between detectors users and archies are very tense and difficult.

Great finds you had btw.

Yes I understand that.
We still have some old barriers to break down but most of the Archies I work with see the benefits. We have contributed as a group, about 30,000 UK detectorist more than they have in terms of finding the sites & recording the metal finds.
