(1 picture is a short solo hunt by Cru'dad on the Abbey Project - 2 scrappies, 2 Roman Nails)
Lovely day today with near T-shirt weather for most of it. It started off very foggy & I could hardly see Cru'dad at 30 metres, but it soon lifted which helped our gridding get back on track.
We spent 6 hours hunting on the flat cultivated but still not drilled land.:icon_scratch: Must be running late, but that's great for us, because we now only have about 10% of the site left & we can move to Fan's site soon to get started there.

36 Roman Bronze Coins
Fossil (new type we need, well spotted Cru'dad)8-)
Roman Leather Mount/belt/strap slide
2 Hob-Nails
Celtic Fibula
Celtic Bronze Unit - Dias Throne. c.AD1-10. Bronze unit. Head right./ Seated figure.
Very cool Roman miniature/votive Axe (best example for awhile)
Marc Antony circa 32 BC Silver Denarius of the IV Legion (my 2nd from this site, this year, & 3rd in total from this site alone!) Very worn but pleased we got the full ID.:icon_thumright:

Now be honest Cru, you and your Dad must be getting tired of digging all of those Roman silver and bronze coins. :icon_scratch:

I have an idea, why don't you guys come to Canada and I'll let you dig some of the lovely square nails that I'm always digging. :laughing7:

Nice finds as always my friend,
Dave

We will never get bored of digging scrappies, this hunt tipped us over the 1000 bronze for the year so far.

We cleared about 40 Roman Nails on this hunt as well, so we are used to digging nails thanks.:thumbsup:
