Last of the Pits - Wish List Find!!!

[CRUSADER]

Over the last few days I have dug about 6 test pits - 1 metre x 1 metre x 4ft deep. Only one of them next to my previously successful pit was any good. Shows how lucky we were!
When I started this dig I was hoping for a figural piece of Samian, I've never had any & it was on my eyes only wish list. (not on my top 5 detecting list)
Today I finally got what I wished for. I was following a burnt pit area at the base of my 4ft hole & I was scrapping & poking about with my trowel when it just flipped out of the ground in front of me. A great surprise, as I never saw it until it popped out!
I'm done in this yard for this year, but I've not put off the idea of returning again.
Plus a rare piece of Roman decorated glass.
Mission complete!

PS. I found the Roman's liked their snails, something I enjoyed in Belgium with butter & garlic.

Thats a top 3 find for everyone hunting roman sites. I'm looking for years now for Samian with a figurine, animal or human. So rare to get! Big congrats, beautiful piece! It shows that living in your area could make you rich enough to get finest tableware! The black mug is nice too!

That is a very cool medallion piece, and I love that color. Nice reward for all that digging.

Dad's thoughts on the figure:
' To me it looks like a man leaning out of or resting in a tree above a pond or river looking at a Carp or a big fish
'
