A Bio Professor's site
The Bio Professor invited me to join him and another friend on a short one day search. It was a large field (but pretty filled up with weeds), and was just outside a pretty large city here and near a freeway. Went with the train, and thereafter about a 5 minutes ride on a bus. Of course, knowing Bio Professor there was a McDonalds' right at the bus stop where we got off, and the search field was just across the street.... Well, OK we needed lunch, it was almost noon.
After our burgers and stuff/drinks we had to walk across the 4 lane highway and walked a bit to the field and got to work. Although it was a good field to keep in mind later when they start to develop it, the finds were nothing to write home about. In one or two places there are a lot of broken pieces of pottery from the 17th/16th century and in those places we found our only finds. We really got a bit skunked, not too much to show for a few hours work. The only real thing that I liked is the small thin piece of silver, what it was in the past, well I don't know. But it was nice weather and nice to get out with friends to do some searching! Pity I did not have my camera, next time! These were my only finds... just stuff for the junk bin really. Cru, see what I mean now?

on my face ,.. as I do believe I've hunted this place . Gert G****k had tak'n me there some 12 [?] yr's ago . Anyway I'll send you a P.M. with city , village /freeway no. ,... this will keep "your" site confidential ,.. although I believe many in Holland know of it 
!! I found my only Roman silver [1/2 of a dinari] in the large field just east of Mc's , but found many nice things near the kirk [to the S.W. across freeeway] . last time I was there R.O.B. [Archy's] where in this small field ,...mak'n way for that new rail-line . that small Kirk [church] maybe sitting on a Roman temple site as I found two roman key's there . Gert G found a saxon brooch there ,and later I found one that's the same . Anyway , if the location given in P.M is not the same as your site ,.. ya'll will have a new place to hunt !!
