Brooch Field - EPIC HUNT...

[CRUSADER]

After the deepest plough we have seen on this land, now is the time for holidays.
I put in an 8 hour grid & Cru'Dad did his longest hunt since the injury of 4 hours. Even though I did 7 hours yesterday, I felt like I could do a 10 hour day, but Cru'Dad needs to catch up with all the recording...
Today was a good mix of 'firsts'

55 Roman Bronze Coins - Smashed this years best 1 day total.
2 Roman Hob-Nails
WWI Royal Corp of Signals Cap Badge (Complete!)
Roman Lead Steelyard Weights
Bits of Roman Bracelet
1st C AD Fibula
1st C AD Rosette Brooch with Pin - First complete example
Another one of those Roman Leather Mounts (Cross shaped), still as yet unknown on a full ID - Never seen 1, now I have 2!
2nd C AD Roman Military Horse Harness Mount - Crescent Moon (Lunar) - A First
Roman Steel-yard Weight Balance Arm - Another rare first.
A Iron Age (Celtic) Mount? Complete but no fixings - Never seen one.
3 Roman Silver;
Best one is a new Emperor for us & is RARE - Siliqua of Flavius Victor, Son of Magnus Maximus, Augustus & Co-Emperor AD387-388 - Book price of $600 in VF, $1500 in EF.

Epic indeed. Rome was sacked in 410AD. Whats the latest Roman coin youve found over there

 

[Westfront]

Rare to read words like 'epic' in your headline! And that was epic indeed. Don't know where to look first.

That's an amazing number of coins for a single hunt, and the 3 silvers were the icing on the cake. Outstanding!!

I continue to be amazed by your stamina! I hunted 4 hours this past Saturday out in the woods... and my shoulder/ back are still talking to me , two days later. Always look forward to your posts to see what ancient goodies you pull out of the ground. Keep rock'n it!

Love the WWI Royal Corp of Signals Cap Badge Cru!

Even more happy to hear that your Dad is feeling well enough to detect for 4hrs today.

Yeah he is pretty good for a guy with one arm and one leg... blind in one eye and only one toe on his remaining foot.

Oh...
