Hunting down a new Site - Day 6...

[CRUSADER]

Had to move off the Winter Wheat field that we did well on & into the neighbouring field.
We know the Roman Site continues into this field but have only had 2 more Roman Coins in our previous hunt.
This time I tried a new area & did manage 2 Roman Coins a my first Very Rare Roman Saw. Maybe a bone saw?
Only did 1 hour 15 mins before we were rained off!

Roman saw - amazing. Is it iron? The curvature suggests it is designed for a pull cutting stroke, like our modern pruning saws.

Very nice finds !

 

[Gare]

You still did outstanding Thank you for sharing with us

 

[jewelerguy]

seems kinda small for a saw, perhaps a hair comb?

 

[ArfieBoy]

Congratulations on the saw and coins! Great finds. Congratulations!

 

[Gene Mean]

Congrats! The saw looks like it´s designed for heavy cutting with the high reinforcement. Maybe your first Roman hospital site?
