Yesterday;
We did 4.5 hrs on 3 different Roman Sites (Brooch Field, HW Field, 2 6s Field).
Went on Brooch field first to prove one of the edges. Spend 2.5 hrs (5 man hours) with nothing, our hardest hit this year, that stung. Moved to MW & got 5 Roman Coins but not much about other than one of my best Roman bronzes this year - one I need & in good condition.
Then moved to 2 6s where we got 9 Roman Coins.
As the oilseed rape had just been drilled it took out 4 of our Roman Sites from 1 farm out of the to do list.
Today;
In light of yesterday we had to do a re-think & decided to return the lower Roman Farmstead at the Track-Way area. Spent 6 hrs & found lots of Roman Coins & a surprise big hammered. For those of you that dig numbers this hit as a 03 on the Deus. But because I dig nearly everything, I could tell this iffy signal was not iron & I thought it was a deep Roman Coin! (I dig lots of --,00,0-10s, if they don't sound like nails) I think this big hammered was at about 10 inches on its side.
14 Roman Coins (Yesterday)
32 Roman Coins (Today)
Broken Tudor Button
Rose Farthing
2 Tudor Clothes fasteners
Roman Steelyard Weight
Roman Bracelet bit
Roman Pin
Roman mystery Military? Fitting (Hook)
Hammered Halfgroat of Charles I
Hammered Shilling of James I 1603-4 (My first)
UPDATE;
Turns out one of the Roman Coins might be an unrecorded/unknown variant.
Cru'Dads thoughts to follow...
FURTHER UPDATE;
Well Cru'Dad was not far off to spot this Very Rare coin;
Turns out 1 of this type is published in a book we don't have but its the 1 in the British Museum(BM). The BM have spotted 1 other sale in France, so ours is the 3rd one known/recorded;
