5 is the Magic No. UPDATED ID...

[CRUSADER]

Told you last night I would get 5 scrappies

Spent 3.5 hours on my own with my friend 'iced water'

Covered a small (less than 1 acre) game strip that Dad & I did last year with a few Roman Coins & 1 Iron Age Bronze Unit.

As well as the coins, I had a small section (catchplate) of a Roman Fibula, 1/2 a Medieval Buckle, & a Roman Mount of a kind I haven't seen before. It has a Crescent on top & a Celtic feel to it, I like it but needs more research.

The large Roman Iron Nail is the typical type we find on Roman Sites, it was over 10" deep.

Not in the moment
I have to go and figure out the owner. But as it is near some fields i can detect i hope to get permission there too.

Never desperate, just dedicate or otherwise known as obsessed.

Barbel (a worthy target) & 10lbs is aiming high. I would love to join you on that one, I need to travel at least 1.5 hours for that possibility.

Remember, you can ask the nearby farmer you already have permission with, 'who owns the land' & use them as a reference when you speak with his neighbour If your lucky & they are friends, you maybe able to get him to ask for you

That is exact what i want to do. Hopefully these fields are not sold to the commune. Some of them are because of upcoming roadworks in this area.

Sounds good, Shaun7 & I need a holiday this year Although it looks like its going to be another busy year, we still have land we never got on last year & the farmers are keen for us to try. Don't want to let them down

UPDATE:

Turns out it is a Roman Mount circa 100-200AD, mine is slightly nicer (had it not been broken) with an added knobbed projection on the front.

 

[shaun7]

Looks good mate Not something I would have done in this heat though :P

If SS ever invites me as well I can tell you all about double figure Barbel

It's just grand when your finds are in better condition than the reference

I think you misread, mines in worse condition but nicer because it has an added embellishment, ie. the extra knob on the front.

Your finds never cease to amaze me Cru !

Get in those fields & look for Lead pieces This is the best indicator of a site (as well as iron nails).

Hi mate .... congrats for the Roman Mount!
lead and the iron nails, I found a thousands ... but be careful because even though many lead are useless but some are round and inscriciones or drawings and a few nails are made of bronze .... these two types of findings are very collectible , I also to save the nails .... you never know who might have belonged.
