Sorry had to go radio silence until finishing the area today, we have competition on this target field (Nicknamed 'The Field of 500'). So we had to step it up a gear & cover the 25 acres as quickly as we could. It took us 5 outings as follows;
Sat
Me 7hrs + Dad 3.5hrs = 34 Roman Coins

Sun
Me 9hrs + Dad 6hrs = 59 Roman Coins

Tues
Me 3hrs + Dad 2.5hrs = 15 Roman Coins

Weds
Both 4hrs = 34 Roman Coins

Today
Me 2.5hrs + Dad 1hr = 1 Roman Coin

143 Roman Bronze Coins (0 Silver :tongue3:)

What that's it ?? Try harder next time !! LOL that's American sarcasm . Incredible finds congrats

That's OK, I thought it was 'harder', we covered this in 6 days last year & only got 90 Roman Bronze Coins, but we got 1 silver as well, so I guess it depends how you see things.

The more we take off each year the less there is & the harder it gets, so in the words of SS they are 'not mushrooms & they don't grow back'.:thumbsup:

You guys left the competition in the dust :thumbsup:
But you would think that among the 134 Roman coins would be at least ONE silver :dontknow: :icon_scratch: ???

I know the previous ratio on this field was about 78/1, now of course its changed.

I know we are spoilt but it was disappointing, but that's detecting. We will probably get our next in a place we never expected.
 

Nice batch of finds, but, leave some for me will you? I'll be over in a couple of months to plunder your fields! :laughing7:

No worries, you can have whatever I left, like all the others....:thumbsup:
 

Almost any one and certainly all of those as a group are banner finds in my book! I only dream of going somewhere to hunt relics this old!
