Another Roman Site Covered...

[CRUSADER]

This was the last of 3 Roman sites that had been deep ploughed, it's by far the smallest & was probably cut in half by a modern track-way & thin wooded area. It only took me 3 hours 45 minutes & Cru'Dad 2 hours 45 minutes to cover the whole area. Although we have only ever had 1 Roman Silver off this site, I hoped my silver steak of 6 Roman Silvers in 4 outings would continue.......It didn't but we only expected 20 coins at best from this low yield site & the ploughed had doubled our expectations. It was however, our best average hourly rate this year; over 11 an hour.

43 Roman Coins - Some OK ones that we can add to the farmers & our albums

One could only wish the bronzes looked like your recoveries Cru. For Colchester being what it was the soils aren't kind to the bronzes, for what you recover in one season surpasses what has been recovered in 10 years of all the teams hunting combined.
Put it this way a buddy says to me "What's this obsession in finding a cruddy old Roman bronze anyways, frigging things have no detail? Just a bronze disk basically, I'll take a hammy any day the week!'

Our soil here is terrible as well, its a pure numbers game. Plus loads of other factors.
We are obsessed with adding to the Celtic/Roman history of our locality, plus its what we have become good at finding. I have no clue how to find a good hammered site, other than try near to Churches.
