Exploring New Land, returned to the Roman Site..

[CRUSADER]

If your going to find new sites, then you need to take a punt & explore. Thats what we did this morning with another huge field.

We quickly found they were still dumping ash filled rubbish on the field. Huge mounds waiting to be spread & lots of modern junk.

I pulled out a squashed Silver ring & Dad pulled out a Medieval Coin Weight which we were pleased to see.

But we couldn't wait to get of this one & went home for lunch to think up a new strategy.

The afternoon hunt was a lot better.

We decided that we had enough of Wheat Stubble & returned to the Roman Site we found this year (lovely flat ploughed soil). I had a hunch about the southern limits of the site. We extended our search & overlapped a productive edge, going slow & digging all. I was surprised how many poor signals turned out to be small roman coins.

23 Roman Coins
Hammered Groat of Mary 1553-54 - badly damaged but a rare one to find.
Nice 14th Century Seal Matrix

We saved another poor start to the day

Thanks, I think it was a week well spent. My body is saying otherwise, I may need one of those poncey holidays to get over it.

You two have had one heck of a couple of weeks. I'm good now, I got a dose of Cru & dad's finds. I am another that likes that silver ring a lot. How old would you guess it is?...
Thanks a bunch.
