End of Year Surprise!

[CRUSADER]

What can I say

We prepared ourselves for the edge of the Roman Site by guessing how many Roman Coins we would find in the 3 hours of sunlight we had left. I guessed 10, Dad said less.

On the very last run we had 7 Roman Coins, quickly I found a further two. Just over the half way point, I got a good signal, knew it was a Roman as soon as I picked it up (very small). Shouted 'Got the 10th one!', until I looked at it & realised it was Silver. I then said, wait on a minute its Silver, Dad guessed Celtic, I said no Saxon & the celebrations began I then started my swing again & less than a metre away I got another good signal, now my hearts going & I'm thinking another Saxon Sceat But it turned out to be the 10th Roman Coin

Only got my first Saxon Sceat this year & now a 2nd.

10 Roman Coins
2 Tudor Clothes Fasteners (1 lead-alloy type I've never had before)

Early Saxon Penny (Sceat)
Anon.
AD730-40
Female Centaur
Whorl of Wolfs Heads
Less than 50 recorded

Utter surprise

Last pictures are a better example, as mine has poor details.

End of year surprises are nice... hope there's one in store for me!

Man what a year. I really hope you don't top it for 2010.

Thanks.
Our targets for 2010 are high, but we are not crazy enough to set them higher than some of the totals of this year

...but you guys must think I'm some kind of miracle maker.........very little land left now & the land that's left I really wouldn't bother with other than we have no choice. Still never dodged hard work when detecting, it's just I'll have to listen to Cru'dad's complaining about not finding anything.

Miracle maker No, it's just that shaun7 said you walk on water . But that might just be because of all the rain that we have had .
