Cru'Dad had a US visitor who wanted to hunt with us for a day. The timing was a little off, as all our best options had been done already. So we started the morning on a virgin field that looked quite good & had a couple of points of interest - near the site of an old mill, on a hill with a pond on the high ground. It turned out to be a bust! We then tried the field next to the Roman Lion Site, but we had hammered that one, so another bust; Other than a quick hunt by me on the ankle breaker Lion Site - 1 Roman Coin.
After lunch we moved to the only other Roman Site we know of that was detectable. Thankfully we did much better here. I had 12 coins, Cru'Dad 5, & our visitor 2, although he had first blood. Glad he found something, as it was a tough near 6 hour hunt.

18 Roman Coins

Thank you for being kind to the "Foreigner". Britain really is a marvelous land. I always appreciate your scans of the Roman era finds. That period of history is one of my main historical eras of interest. I have collected Roman coins for several years.
You and your Father must have quite a nice collection by now. Plus 24 Banner finds to your credit !!

We tried our best, I wouldn't change any of today's decisions. We got the best out of a bad bunch.
 

that seems to be the norm, you take someone out to do something and you end up struggling but, you made a great effort and he will always remember it. glad that he did finally find something.

A lot of work paid off.
Nice bunch of finds
 

It's sometimes hard to put somebody onto good digging dirt after one has detected the heck out of it. Still a good day out and a few nice finds are found.
Math skills suck though Cru.:laughing7:

That was nice of you to take him hunting and so glad that the last place you took him to was not a bust.

I find it fascinating that the bell still has its pea. As always a delight to see your finds.
