3 possibly 4 roman coins, one of which cru's dad says is a new variant
a medieval belt mount
and a nice georgian military button( royal artillary regiment)
plus george 11 and a victorian coin
oh! and a 17th century token

Pictures tell it all - a fantastic day.

When you find something that you always wanted, then it means more than just its £ value. Its priceless. I'm talking about the 2nd Century Roman Headstud Brooch which will probably be impossible to beat. I have a bag full of brooches & maybe only 2 with pins. Shaun7 gets his first Brooch with pin :o The story could have been very different, as we were grid searching with 3 of us in the line & Shaun7 choose this run which could have easily been Cru'dads :thumbsup:

The day the Lobo held its own against the Cortes & XP ::)

Its about AD330s, the mint is unlike any other recorded in the books. The * before the mint letters is normally after it. Its commemorating the death of Constantine the great!

Its a Trier Mint (Germany)

Wow Shaun, I bet you 'love' Cru now! He's a great guy for sharing, that is for sure! Very happy that you got a bunch of stuff, is ALL of that yours???? You look like the road runner.... Happy to hear that you were watered and fed, was there a bush also in the area to lose some of that during your search, or did you hide your equipment in the bush instead?

If those are all YOUR finds you can begin a button count now!
A few questions, you know I am always interested in lead things...

2nd photo, lower left, just above the coin. A lead round ....?
2nd photo, lower right, what's that? A trade token?
3rd photo, what is that on the left?
5th photo contain your great brooch and Jeton...Great finds. What is the object above and to the left.

Anyway Shaun, you pretty well beat Cru + his Cru-Dad's help! ! ! Wow. If Cru-Dad didn't drop in for a while you would have shined all over the place! As it is 1 against 2 is d a m n good! Congratulations on having a great day....

Like the Artillery CRU! That one held up quite well for your dirt.
