Spent the first 1.5 hours doing the grand tour of land but all the good sites were still under Wheat.

So returned to the Roman Site we confirmed this year & covered it while it was stalky Rape, now it has been disced but still pretty rough. I like this field as I had a lovely Saxon Strapend, we wondered if it might be our first confirmed Saxon Site. It is, as our new detecting friend, not only got a Roman Silver in his first week but a Saxon Brooch (6th Century) & a porcupine Sceat in EF condition :o We were pleased for him & he was over the moon, he has also had about 20 roman Bronze Coins as well. (pretty good for his first week, nothing we can teach this golden boy!).

Spent 4 hours with Dad, who some of the time was helping out the Brother of the Landowner who wanted a try, he had a Medieval Buckle & plate & a Silver Roman Pin ::) :hello2:

You can tell its a good site from the pottery & massive stones.

23 Roman Coins - 1 new Emperor for the album.
Cut halfpenny of Henry III
Snake head terminal to a Roman Bracelet
Roman Bronze Pin
Roman Fibula (Brooch)
My fav of the day & only my 3rd Roman Nail Cleaner, but first in the shape of a Amphora 8)

No Saxon Stuff :'(

Sadly, someone did it 10 years ago, but he kept telling the owner that he wasn't finding much. Eventually he got chucked off, so who knows whats missing :( Another one to give us a bad name, if its not night-hawks it people who gain permission & lie >:(

Hardly any scrappies, lots of logging for Dad. It was a grass field for ages, & they have mostly only shallow ploughed whilst stubble burning (no longer legal).

You find many evasions? "George Rules" "Claudius Romanus" etc.. I've only dug one in all my old coppers.
