Firstly Cru'dad yesterday had a couple of hours solo hunting in a failed oil-seed rape area & managed 2 Roman Nails, 1 scrappy & a knife thingy.
It pays to keep an eye on whats going on around your farms. Land-mag pointed out something I already knew, which was that one of our good farms has had some brush/tree clearance with some ditches being re-profiled.
It was only 1 ditch we were interested in, the one between a wooded area where we had had some Roman stuff & the ploughed field where the main site was. In just over 1 hour doing the spoil & the edge of the ditch I had 7 Roman Coins. Most off them from the ditch cut, especially where ancient ditches perpendicular to the new one joined.
The knife thingy I have no idea, the farmer thought a root cutter? I thought 18th C butchers knife??
