After having looked for new productive sites to hunt for months ... spent hours and hours locating new aeras on the map ... ridden over 200 km each weekend just to pull out trash or modern coins in the best case ... I finally found a dream spot last weekend . I threw away the map and drove at random thinking I just hit the first spot that looked fine to me . and that's what I did I looked around me asking myself " If I was a roman ( or whatever you want !) where would I build my house ? . I saw a small hill in the skyline that immediatly drew my attention . a few minutes ( well 1 hour actually :-\)later I was there . the first coin I found was a Celtic one after a few secondes of detecting only ... and guess what just near another bronze coin ...then another one then a bronze ring . I stayed there for 3 hours ( before the night actually stopped me ) and dug more then 30 celtic bronze coins , a silver hammered , a few bronze rings and some other stuff . The odd thing is I drove around the hill for a long time but had never stopped to detect .needlless to say I'm an happy man today :icon_queen:

Very nice finds and what a great site! Maybe check close to the water source next time, could get better. Congrats and HH, Mike
 
Fantastic finds, what tribe are they ?. Did they mint silver or gold coins ?. Are the coins part of an hoard or single finds?.
