Today our plan was to return to the Track-Way Site to hope for a Sceat. However, before we started I wanted to check if the bean stalks at the Roman Metal Working Site/Fan's Site were disced in yet. As luck would have it the Metal Working Site was ready but Fan's site had not been completed yet & they had run the tractor up the side of Fan's Site & in the opposite direction to the rest of the discing lines. So we used this opportunity to do our first ever 'T' shaped gridding pattern & it was highly successful, because the BC Denarius was in a lesser known area away from where we would normally concentrate if we had had the choice.
Only a little rain today but with the wind at 35mph it really takes it out of you on an exposed hill for 6 hours;
28 Roman Bronze Coins
Hunts Button
COMPLETE - Roman Hair Pin! (sharp)
Top of a Roman Fibula
Bit of a Roman Amphora Strap-end
Roman Leather Mount (our first of its type) - Probably on a horse.

Poor quality Hammered Halfpenny of?
Vespasian Denarius 69AD

''Legio octava Augusta ("Augustus' Eighth Legion") was one of the oldest legions[SUP][1][/SUP] of the Imperial Roman army founded by Pompey in 65 BC, along with the 6th, 7th and 9th, and continuing in service to Rome for at least 400 years thereafter.
The Legion did not serve in Britain but did go to Gaul in AD70 with Vespasian.''
