Field of 500 - Day 4... (+ short Cru'Dad Hunt)

Picture 1 is Cru'Dad's short 2.5hrs on a 'hunted out' Roman Site, shows we still need a little more work on this one, as it turned up quite a large coin we need

Dad & I spent 6 hours (12 man hours) on the 'Field of 500' carrying on from where Shuan7 & I left off. It was Dad's turn to get the Roman Silver Denarius of Caracalla AD210. I got the fairly nice Sestertius of Faustina Junior AD161

Total of 54 Roman Bronze Coins
Hunts Button with Birds
1948 Two Shilling (Florin)
Bits...
Box/Furniture Roman Bronze Mount of a bearded God?

My God, thats an amazing site, fantastic discoveries, and i think you said ¨hunted out¨"

54 roman, and all the rest...how big its the field? must have been a very important villa or something similar, market?

No, picture 1 is a different site which we have hunted hard. The 54 are from the Field of 500, which we only started about 3 years ago & got over 500 Roman Bronze coins in 6-7 weeks We had limited access last year & only got 3 coins, this year the conditions are perfect

Its a massive site spread over at least 50 acres, Archies think its a small settlement

Those fields hide a Roman population center, but not small, I would say a rural type city.

First of all A BIG WELL DONE to Cru'Dad , secondly, it's Sestertius, shaun. You made it sound like Testicular cancer :P. Very similar to the one I found, although mine was a couple of years later http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=24272&cat=48

It must be a wonderful thing to dig every signal you get and come up with something wonderful........I can only imagine. I don't guess you run into many pull tabs in those areas....
Oh yeah, 'grats on the terrific finds!

Well, on one half of the field the farmer has been dumping modern burnt crap, so plenty of modern rubbish to dig
