Gold Hammered Field - Day 8 - 2 ROMAN SILVER !

[CRUSADER]

Went back & continued gridding the 17 acre field on my own. I was in a very modern trashy area & not an area that looked Roman but out popped 2 Silvers! This is why I grid promising fields because they could be anywhere. I had only done 2 hours & 45 minutes when the owner came & talked to me. I had thought the lines in the soil were a pre-plough mole to break up the ground because they were at a 30 degree angle to the normal crop direction. Turns out he had direct drilled into the stubble & used a lifting plough to create air for the roots of the oilseed rape. We had a chat & he was very understanding, I hate it when this happens, because we like to keep everyone happy. Thankfully no harm done but obiviously its my last day on the land until harvest.
The Roman Style Victorian Spelter Bust gave me a jaw dropping moment!

The dirt is not great, heavy clay, although I get what you mean.

That Trajan is a real gem of a denarius, congrats man!

Yeap, would swap that for 10 of the ones next to it.

Oh boy, you did it again! Finding that crazy Cru stuff. Congrats on another killer day. A lot of guys think successful hunters have all the luck but you're out there day after day working your arse off for those finds.

Keep 'em coming buddy!!

It is pretty simple;
Lots of Research
Good Machine (light)
Lots of leg-work Scouting
Then lots of time Gridding the Sites (whole areas)
Mapping it for future reference & to help Grid next year
Clearing the Good Sites of all of the signals (over years)
Being quick whilst doing all of the above & spending 500 hours a year searching plus 1000 researching & recording. (each)

You've really been on a nice roll man. Congrats on adding a couple more beauties to your already awesome collection of oldies.

The teams been on a bit of a roll, I had a dip on good coins whilst Dad picked them up, but I'm back!

A place like that would have me setting up a tent.
Congrats on a great hunt.

For me, its not in that league. These are the first 2 Roman Silver (in 8 days) & we have only had about 4 Bronze, its not got an early site on it but plenty of Geo/Vicky junk/finds to keep the interest up.
