We lucked in again. The farmer decided to deep plough an area of growing Wheat to make a bird game strip, as luck would have it, right on a Roman Site (Copse Field). We tried it today but it was an ankle breaker, so will re-do when its drilled with maize. We did manage 9 scrappies & Fibula though!
We then moved to an area of failed beans (Crow damage), they have just re-drilled some spring beans, & rolled it flat. This area was some way outside of a Roman Site but we got a few finds, ending the near 6 hour hunt with:
13 Roman Coins
Livery Button
Roman Fibula (Brooch)
Medieval Horse Harness Hanger
Medieval Purse Bar Loop (Broke)
Medieval Strapend
Flint Lock Gun Part
Silver band for a pipe
1872 Silver Fob Watch Chain piece
1567 Threepence (Lizzy) (Dad got this the other day on the bean field, 2.5 hour hunt)
1817 Sixpence
Most interesting find - Lead Ladies Head, circa 16th C, this is our first & a rare find outside of the London foreshore.

The womans head is way cool and the watch chain bar looks exact the same like cow chains are made....
