What can I say :o

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 :icon_thumright: 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 :D But it turned out to be the 10th Roman Coin ;D

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 :icon_thumright:

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

Cheers,

...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. :wink:
 

Great hunt...congrats!! :thumbsup:
 

Very good finds again! Congrats :icon_thumleft:!
