Im Back...

I'm Back...

...after my Holiday & I can tell you Skiing does not help your legs when digging afterwards

Cru'dad needed some help after a 2 visit & 3 button result. So we returned to a early Roman industrial site (workmans buildings) or those that follow, 'The Ankle Breaker'. It was now sown with spring beans & we have a short (flat) window of opportunity.

In 4 hours we managed 16 Roman Bronze Coins & some nice pottery shards, plus;

1929 Sixpence
1666 Token
Denarius of Geta AD199 1st of the year

A Bronze Furniture Fittment (I guess, but might be Military, never seen one & need to research). Stunning even patina with signs of tinning, so well made you could be fooled into thinking its modern

'News just in' - Timeteams coin expert - what a shocking ID

Thanks.

The 'coin expert' IDed a very common Roma Bust for a Theodosius Shocking,,,,,,, just adds to the list of inaccurate IDs I've spotted over the year

or those that follow, 'The Ankle Breaker'.

I'd say you have a major following here! Great job Cru!

Re: I'm Back...

thanks everyone, good to be back & hunting & finding the good stuff (although the Geta fell to the Cortes ) Its been a sticky start to the year & we still have several more months of 'hard times'. But we will keep trying all our poor options until we get lucky

Hi cru, We too endure this tv show and others. TV is about ratings not the real facts. Maybe one day you and shaun could get a TV show now that would be funny

Re: I'm Back...

What? Did I understand that correct? You paid money to go visit snow, what the ^%$&? I get my snow and ice for free and still getting it, LOL. Congrats on some nice finds and that silver Roman is a beauty! Any correspondence with the Time Team would be awesome, I have watched as many episodes as my internet fingers can get and have considered signing up for Sky just for the great History programs. Let me know the next time you feel like visiting snow, maybe we can make a trade, LOL. HH, Mike

Re: I'm Back...

Well Ian, i a little bit jealous now i must admit.. But it's nice to see you rock with the finds you post!
We still have 20-C at night so i have no possibility to dig... But soon my friend you will have a mighty opponent
Looking forward to the next one!

Happy Hunting.
