Gravel Hill Field - Day 5 & 6...

Yesterday (Saturday) we spent 3.5 hours carrying on our grid pattern to find the limits of the site. When I got home my internet connection was bust, & I will have to wait until Monday for a fix So I'm posting from Dads today to show the weekends efforts.

21 Roman Coins
Medieval Square Mount
& bits...

Re: Gravel Hill Field - Day 5 & 6...

Today we started early at just before 10:00am, the ground was slightly frozen & a sleet shower or two made us feel the cold for the first time this year. However, it soon brighten up & turn pretty mild again
3.5 Hours again & oddly 21 Roman Coins like yesterday
This now smashes any previous Roman Coin Count for the month of Dec & we are yet to finish (although may only get 1 or 2 other days before other commitments).

2 Jettons
1 Rose Farthing
15th C Locking Buckle
Nice Medieval Beehive Thimble
Tudor Book Clasp

What is strange is we now nearly have 100 Roman Coins from the field without a Silver, & a few medieval signs without a hammered. Can't have it all our way, but we must be close

(Having problems loading the pictures from Dad's set up, will add soon)

It's unreal that it hasn't given up a hammered yet Some nice Romans though!

Looks like it beat babysitting

I've always wondered but now I'm finally going to ask- What do you do with your finds? Do you keep everything? (besides treasure trove of course) Pics of the whole collection?

Earlier in the year we had 1 poor hammered from this field but out in the middle on it's own. Hopefully there are a couple more, but it a massive field & we have not even covered 1% yet, we needed another XP

I keep everything that isn't given to the land owners as I'm a collector. It's not possible to picture the whole collection as it would take days, plus lots are displayed at the local Museum.

What is your single most favorite thing you've ever found out of the whole collection?

You did well on this field. I'm sure silver is waiting somewhere! You did not had many roman silvers this year, am i right? Our fields are muddy the last week...

You guys across the pond are killing it. You can get more in one day then a colonial can in a life time. Congrats on an other superb hunt. Let me know if you ever need a hand with one of your fields I would be happy to lend a hand.

Cru team, congrats on a really fun a good two days. Love the thimble, and just one question, none of the Romans is good to show in detail?

I'm back finally after a lot of work, and have some posts to make, but never 21 Romans in one day...have to keep researching.

Congrats
