Firstly, thanks again to Land-Mag for the lift & it was really great to get in amounst it again.:headbang: They have done a deep plough on 4 of our Roman Sites, we just don't know where to start. When I say deep, I mean 15 inches on the Iron Age/Roman Site in picture 6 (only spent an hour on it!) There is pottery shards everywhere, & I spent 4 hours 15 minutes on the field we named 'Brooch Field'.

Dad joined me for the last couple of hours & pulled off what will surely become his best 'Eyes Only' find (I spotted a roman coin on top) - Celtic Bronze Unit (I can't find it in the books, looks rare, I will keep researching!) He spotted it in a lump of clay whilst he had stopped next to me trying to find an iffy signal.

I pictured a few of the Roman Iron Nails we clear.

Total for the day:
26 Roman Bronze Coin
1 Silver (debased) Roman Coin - Solonia
Bent up Roman Fantail Brooch
Roman Pin (Large)
Part of a Iron Age/Roman Luna Mount (with a smaller piece I found in the same area 2 years ago)

The nicest roman coin was my third dig! After 1 bit of lead & the bent up brooch.

Also the 35mm Sestertius is our largest ever, shame about condition.

Found it, reason it took me awhile was because I was looking for a horse instead of a boar:laughing7:
Circa 10AD.
 
Very nice finds! :occasion14: I like seeing the Roman nails as well. What part of England are you in BTW?
 
Nice roman coins!
 
Real nice condition on the coin in pic. 3

I like the pic. of the "nails" too, they're cool.
 
Love those roman coins that have the detail on them
 
Incredible Finds! It is great that you can find coins that old! I hope you have many more fields that have a deep plow done. Can't wait to see what is next! Way to go! :icon_thumleft:
