[CRUSADER]

Sorry had to go radio silence until finishing the area today, we have competition on this target field (Nicknamed 'The Field of 500'). So we had to step it up a gear & cover the 25 acres as quickly as we could. It took us 5 outings as follows;
Sat
Me 7hrs + Dad 3.5hrs = 34 Roman Coins

Sun
Me 9hrs + Dad 6hrs = 59 Roman Coins

Tues
Me 3hrs + Dad 2.5hrs = 15 Roman Coins

Weds
Both 4hrs = 34 Roman Coins

Today
Me 2.5hrs + Dad 1hr = 1 Roman Coin

Sheesh... what the hell were they doing back then ?

Drinking and tipping dancers ?

OR... there was a rash of "bad pockets" on the clothes ?

OR...

It was a small Roman settlement, with possible port & dock.

That was it....
Great score with the coins, still giving. When looking at the pics it's a way other look than the last posts. Crazy. To me the unbroken pennanular brooch is the best find.

I agree, its the first of that type for me & complete!
At first it looked like a bracelet for a baby...lol

Looks like you spent quite a bit of time cherry picking without your dad. Shame on you.

Great finds! Congrats!

 

[BigWaveDave]

I was planning on hunting that field too....
Amazing how much history you and Crudad have there....congrats on all the recoveries.

 

[Gridwalker306]

After that many Romans, you must have been dying for a Roman silver! That's an amazing bunch, and some look to be in fantastic condition. Excellent hunting Cru, congrats

 

[Rustic]

Congratulations on so many excellent finds. That was a heck of a marathon... You two must be tired, but definitely worth it!

 

[Scrappy]

Your recovery rate is incredible, but those of us that follow your digs already know that. Fantastic Roman bronze. And that unbroken brooch - amazing example of beauty and survival in the dirt!


Congrats Cru and Cru'dad

Speechless!

 

[birdman]

Absolutely incredible Cru,fantastic results. Hard to believe Roman coins can still be found with such volume. Makes our mouths water on this side of the pond.

 

[tanz 82]

What that's it ?? Try harder next time !! LOL that's American sarcasm . Incredible finds congrats

 

[kcm]

I'm simply speechless!!

So is that area now off-limits to you or will you be able to hit it again some time?



Geez....even doesn't NEARLY cover all those finds! ....Speechless!

 

[tomhighland]

Outstanding!

I know you're joking, but 'cherry picking' is not a term we are familiar with. We systematically grid & clear everything we can, doesn't matter who is gridding but I find 70% of the finds with the better machine.

It's not off limits until its drilled (Planted).
But we won't return this year, unless, we have time & better conditions, ie. its been flattened a bit.
