Field of 500 - Day 6... 1000 Roman Bronze Coins...

CRUSADER · Sep 25, 2011

Its our last 5.5 hours on this field as the Wheat is being to show. We covered about 80% of the main site, so good enough until a deep plough $:-\$ (he rarely does deep ones).

41 Roman Bronze Coins today takes us to exactly 1000 for the year so far. Looks like we are heading for a record year

Bronze Roman Bell
Bronze Roman Locking Pin Terminal
Burnt modern coins from the recent incinerator crap thats dumped :tongue3:

The no. 2 & 3 picture shows a 20" hole that got the blood pumping. After about 17" Dad dug up a piece of broken Roman Pot (see large piece in picture 4), this made us dig a little more careful, as we had gone throw a orange sandy layer & into a darker material ::)

We then came onto an interesting rim, turns out to be an old pewter dish :laughing9:

From the title I thought like Shaun, that you had hit your hoard, No doubt you thought the same thing with the deep hole, with the pot in it.

Maybe tomorrow ?

I'm working towards the site we talked about. Western part will be harvested next week. Very limited time there. Eastern side are the carrots, there we have whole winter... Biggest problem is my detecting time. Most weeks i have the weekends only.... Today the oldest coins were from the 1700s but at least we had sunny weather! :tongue3:
