Hill Spring Site - Another CELTIC SILVER !!!

[CRUSADER]

We just seem to have the golden touch this year!
We were gridding for just over 5 hours on some freshly growing Spring Wheat, which we phoned the farmer before hand to check it was OK. Its on a sandy hill which has a spring leaking out half way up the hill. It's a site with only a small amount of finds but what we like is it can produce any period; Iron age, Roman, Saxon, & Medieval. And that is pretty much what it did today!

11 Roman Coins (Only had 6 off the site all last year)
Half a Saxon Disc Brooch
Tiny piece of Saxon Fibula
Tiny piece of Roman Fibula
Frag of Roman Bracelet
Roman Childs Ring
Iron Age (Celtic) Fibula
Some odds & sods from Dads 3 hours on the failed Bean Field.
Our first Roman Bronze Nail!
A Celtic Silver Unit of Cunobelin AD20;
Hercules Resting on Club
Naked Lady riding a feline creature whilst feeding it.
This coin I found is the same type of coin Cru'Dad had in Feb & being on 2 silver this year already, when 1 is a good year, is crazy.

Nail - Best guess based on the metal type & patina, also the head type is like other known examples.

The bottom right is a typing block, but if the mean the bottom left; it’s a lead finial to an 18[SUP]th[/SUP] C Tea caddy. The ‘thimble’ is a Victorian dragonfly brooch.

Thanks Cru, yes I meant left and typed right... oh well.. Great thanks for the info!

Thanks to ALL the positive comments.

Cru'Dad & I often laugh at how well we keep doing, even at the most hunted out sites. We know to get the best stuff you have to do the research & put in lots of time, but more than that you have to hit the best opportunities at the best time. This site had wet conditions underneath & was rolled flat as a pancake. What has worked in our favour this year, is God intervention, things that nature has put in the way of the farmer has worked in our benefit.
