Before we arrived at the field we both thought it would be a tough day with maybe 1 hammered but lots of buttons, as this was the last 4 hours required to grid this field section.
However, 5 minutes after starting, I turn to Cru'Dad & said, ''I think we are going to get something good today'' ; Cru'Dad replied that he thought the same!
2 strange things happened in relation to 2 very recent posts I made;
Cru'Dad & I joked that you guys must think we are popping down the shop....lol
After finishing this field in just over 4 hours we rounded off the day to 5 Hrs scouting 2 nearby fields where I got a crotal bell & bent hammered.
2 Crotal Bells
Livery Button
Jaw Harp
2 Neolithic Flints
14th C Buckle & Pin
Medieval Coin Weight
Viking Partifact
3 Hammered; Bent Charles I Shilling, Ed IV Penny, King John Penny.
Circa 3000BC Neolithic Flint Arrow-Head
Circa 50BC Gallic War Ambiani Gold Stater: These unifaced types were produced in a hurry, hence the blank die that should be Apollo's Head, because they were payment to the Gallic Warriors who fought one of the most famous battles against Julius Ceasar. When Vercingetorix lost the War many of the mercenaries fled the Roman Empire to the UK with their booty.

2 strange things happened in relation to 2 very recent posts I made;
- I stated in my Day 2 post that Neolithic Arrow-Heads in my area were ''extremely rare'' (Westfront agreed) - 2 Days later & my next hunt I'm eye balling a small example!
- Yesterday in relation to a banner bump for my last Gold Celtic, I stated ''I would be happy with just 1 of these this year''. Next day - BOOM!
