Confirmed NEW Roman Site - 2 HAMMERED, ROMAN SILVER...

[CRUSADER]

Last year we did well to find 5 new Roman Sites, today I confirmed our 1st one for 2019. This area was accidentally discovered OTWBTTC after finishing a low yield Roman Site earlier this month. This is another low yield sister site close to the other one & it only took us 5 hours to grid the whole scatter. I'm glad we came back because we thought the few stray finds might have just be associated with the track-way.

13 Roman Bronze Coins
The biggest Lead Pot Mend we have found, it feels like 1/2 a pound & must have been a very big storage jar!
Roman Terminal to a Locking Mech.
Near complete Child's Roman Bracelet
Tudor Thimble
Unusual Roman Leather Mount (A first)
Fibula Catchplate
Part of a loop to a Romano-Celtic Toggle
The Terminal to a Skillet Handle (17th C)
Medieval Buckle
Hammered Pennies of Ed I & Henry III
Tudor Sword Chape with a Sword Point still in it! (another first!)
Roman Silver Denarius AD71 Vespasian.

Another great day even if the recent rain made it the stickiest day we have done in ages!

What we did get tired of was carrying all the extra clay on our boots & spade! But digging good stuff keeps you motivated!

Wow, it must have been a very big jar and costed a lot to repair it.

yes, the clay adds to the bottom of boots to both weigh a lot and make you taller until you get some of it off. can get pretty old and it sticks to everything as well. usually the finds don't go as deep in the clay though. You and your dad put in the time for sure and it shows
