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.
