Went out detecting in perfect weather. One of our better roman sites is harvested. Stubbles are quite high but options are still rare so we gave it a try. I did 7 hours with some nice finds. I thought a stunning Follis was the best find. In the last row i came over a pretty deep signal and decided to dig. At 10 or 12" the shovel hit.....bones. Horse bones. Ribs also turned up. Signal still in the hole. I dug deeper and recovered a rusted military storm lantern. More still in the hole. A tube tooth paste(?) and a bottle with cork turned up. Thats when i called the farmer. He came over and we had a good laugh. Probably a military horse from WWII dozed into a shell hole during war and the deep plow last year brought the bones up. The farmer will dig with his equipment as soon as he has the time. Maybe some other things were thrown into the crater too.
