Early Roman to Edwardian. Very productive day.

I have not been able to get out for about six weeks so yesterday's hunt really made up for a whole load of down time.
Eventually got to go to a permission I researched over a long time and found traces of Roman occupation from cropmarks.
Got out in the field early with high hopes and after about two minutes hit my first signal which was a nice KG almost sitting on the surface. Good start and the day just got better and better plenty of signals to dig over the six hours I spent in the field.
In total my finds for the day were.

La Tene Childs brooch
7 Roman coins (6 scrappies 1 nice Constantine)
3 nice buckles
Various buttons
Musket balls and early bullet
Lead token
Elizabeth I sixpence 1601
Rose orb Jetton
Greenies (various Georgians, 1839 10 centimes, and blanks)
Edwardian costume jewellery brooch

Very happy with the first foray in this field

Also plenty of lead, shotties and the usual junk had to be dug.
Located 2 hotspots that will be gridded on my next trip out later in the week.

It has been said before by many and I'll echo the sentiments: It blows my mind what you all find for "old coins" on that side of the pond. And the amount of them as well. Great hunt!

Yeap, looks like a good site. That Celtic/Romano-Celtic Brooch is a type I need.

Got a hunts button with a rabbit/hare on it, I like those as well.

A Roman silver is not far away....

Thanks for the replies Just to let you know I don't take for granted just how lucky I am to be able to dig these kind of coins and relics. I,m privileged to live in such an historical area and never have to travel more than 5 miles to be on great sites.

Hope you get a good example of one of these brooches for your collection one day.
The possibility of a Roman silver is really on the cards and would not be surprised if a Celtic/Iron Age coin turned up also.
