Covered 2 Roman Sites in 6 Hours - 45 Coins!

[CRUSADER]

The first low yield small Site that we now call the 'Telegraph Pole Site' took us 3 hours to grid. We were keen to try this as its a relatively new discovery & not hit so hard. It's only produced about 30 coins in the past so the 12 we got was a good result.
We then moved next door to 2Sixes which is a slightly bigger site but we covered the main area in 3 hours getting a great result of 33 coins, we were both surprised at that. Although the flat wet conditions had improved our deeper target finds.

45 Roman Coins - 3 OK ones
Lead Token
1901 IH Penny (A first)
Bit of a Roman Plate Brooch
Broken Roman Box Seal Lid
Bits...

Our bend & snap had improved with practice from 45 in 7 hours to 45 in 6 hours.

Very nice hunt, congratulations!

are these coins valuable or just great stories to pass on?

Nope, very little value in this lot. You have to find a really rare Roman Bronze Coin to be worth anything. It's all about the numbers until you get a Silver, still not worth much either, other than to collectors like us.

Awesomeness again! Congrats!

yeah well said...the broken projectile points I find are worth more to me than the best point for sale.

Nice to see you got a first IHP, congrats on all those Roman's

Hi crusader, I agree plenty of worthless coins to had before get a good silver. I may get a dozen good silver coins a year. But rare or scarce just has never happened for me . Gold mines is the saving grace. TP

Funny, today I found my 21st IHP FTY, but have never found a Roman coin or anything older than 1750. I’m amazed by your “scrappy” copper coins. Hard to imagine that many coins lost centuries ago. Congrats!

Bet that gilded button gave you an initial start! I always does me.
