Last chance on new Roman Site...

CRUSADER · Mar 14, 2010

The crop has grown fast since yesterday

So will not bother this field again for awhile. During our research I noticed the crop marks go into the next field, only today did I notice the entrance to the site is in this field as well. It has oil seed rape, so we will have to wait until after the plough to plot the rest of the site.

We managed 3 hours with Mum's grace ::)

& Land-Magnet joined us for just over 1 hour.

17 Roman Bronze Coins - some interesting mints
Nice Roman Bronze Snake Head terminal to a Bracelet. I've had a few of these from different sites, so must have been popular & mass produced.

after they've been re-plowed or are these from a different set of fields

No this is a totally new site discovered two weeks ago but only detected 2 days on the crop. The rest of the site is in the next field which we will do later. I have nearly lost count of how many Roman Sites we have found. Plus more targets to come after harvest. We are honing our skills at finding them. Dad, I & Land Magnet must now have permission for way over 20,000 acres.

So time on productives spots is key to this year.

Crusader, you are starting to get on my nerves with all your neat finds.
Don't you ever get skunked? You know we like seeing your finds.

I guessed you have to bear in mind its our combined finds (although ratio normally 70% to me 30% to Dad), we are a well oiled team & cover a lot of land quickly. So can't remember being skunked for years. Every day that I detect, I post however good, so you see all.

Sweet, well I look forward to seeing some old Celtic, Anglo, and Roman finds from you this spring and summer :wink:

Only water & a nail brush, plus Museum quality renaissance wax on the better coins which join the album or given to farmers.
