Low Yield Area gives better than expected Results - Roman Silver...

[CRUSADER]

After this years deep plough my strategy (as time is on our side) is to hit all the low yield areas first.
This area was a thin strip along a trackway which lead from 1 Roman site to another.
It only took us 2 hours to complete but I'm very impressed with the result. My mate had 6 coins (2 nice ones) & a Roman Spoon Bowl.
I had 11 Roman Bronzes & a Silver:

Rare to get snow & if any might be a few days in Feb/March. Not much frozen ground other than a couple of inches from time to time.
