Still a roll really. Perhaps not one you consider Mega, but a roll all the same.

Thanks for your comments. I guess in the early days I would have been happy with this. However I have been spoiled with lots of great finds & my expectations are therefore higher. I now aim (dream) for things I haven't found yet like a hoard of Saxon treasure, a gold Roman coin or a Celtic gold Stater.

I'm itching to get out today, the field I'm going to hasn't produced as good a finds as the ones I have just posted but I have a good feeling about it.

Talking of feelings does anyone every feel they are being lead to a find? Do you follow any gut feelings? Abit like when you lifes in danger but the opposite!

As I previous have stated I hardly ever leave things to chance, I always cover a field from start to finish. However when I start a large new field I offen wander try to find the productive area. It when I do this that for example the following might happen:
I was walking across a field to where I was going to continue with my previous days search. I had the detector on & decided I would walk down the flatist part of the field where the tractor wheels had been. I had walked 300m & was 3/4 of the way to my starting point when I felt I should move off the track 3 paces to my left, on my 3 pace I hit my first strong signal. Dug it & found my first Age Age (Celtic) Woad Grinder - A nice complete example. Was it Luck? All I can say is 2 weeks previously I had lost an attempt to buy one on ebay. I felt it was a symbolic artefact of the Celtic people & quite a Rare one which I felt I would never find! ( & haven't after 20 years) I have had many similar experiences, not only whilst detecting. One other I will tell you about was the time I wondered in to to middle of the field did about 30mins of Detecting & found a lovely silver Roman Denarius. Thought the field must be a good one so searched the whole of it which took over 100hrs & found no other roman silver coins.

Congrats! Must be nice living in an area where it is possible to find 2,000-year-old stuff like that!

Try around Cambridge, site of the Trojan War.

Yes I said that correctly. Check this site out:

I am halfway through this book, and it is astounding, to say the least.

 

[dugupfinds]

Yes thanks. I am aware of the theory.

I do feel lucky to have & own so much history.
