    Roman Site still producing...

    Although the rain had stopped the sticky lumpy clay was fun to play in

    Only spent 3 hours (6 man hours) but the results were in some ways better than yesterday.
    We seem to be on the edge of the western side of the site & strangely had no smaller coinage, but had the larger types.
    The Magnetius Double Centenionalis is our first & a Rare type
    Plus a nice Magnetius Centenionalis.

    This site is very late as all the coins (but a few) are post Constantine I & start mostly in the 350s AD Very unusual in our experience.

    My first Roman Serpent Ring - that one would be hard to find with Disc on
    Roman Pin Head
    Medieval Fittment
    Best Find Saxon Strapend (new type for us)

    Very unusual Lead hollow Bead with good decoration. I know it must be Medieval or earlier & I'm thinking Saxon (maybe Roman) Never seen one to compare it to

    So a good weekend
