Helping the '''Archies''' again.......

Took a half day holiday to help the Archies with their dig. You may notice its been raining a bit, as I said on Sunday. I tend not to like these archie types & often go around punching them in the head, especially the girl ones, they really annoy me. :icon_jokercolor:

Found a few iron nails in some of there features (ditches).

Iron Age pottery shards & a bone from the same area (see picture with my shadow for where I found these). This is where there looks to be prehistoric activity & what might be a round house nearby. Iron Age stuff of any kind is very rare for me to find. This dig may get interesting, fingers crossed.

In another part of the field I found a bronze Medieval pot leg from a ditch fill.

Whilst waiting & walking between trenches I found one of the best Roman Bronzes I have had in awhile. Showed them all & they were impressed, but as its not part of the dig its mine (although this one may go to the farmer).

A nice afternoon with two keen young lady 'Archies'.

Look forward to when they start on sectioning the features.

Some of trenches were completely full of water, they are getting the pumps in soon.

Maybe we could start a new sport, archie hunting, at least they have some cover to hide in....

Great that you helped the people out Cru! But please explain this:

I tend not to like these archie types & often go around punching them in the head, especially the girl ones, they really annoy me.

You got to be kidding me!

Nice post! I think it is in our best interest to help the blasted Archies as best we can, especially those of us that have direct contact with them. There is hope, LOL. HH, Mike

You missed all the drama (inside joke), most off my last thread was deleted by the Mods before you saw it.
