Meadow Land & Farm Shop...

[CRUSADER]

One of the meadow fields had recently been hayed & we gave it a 3 hour blast. The result was OK with the following finds:

1881 Silver Sixpence
Livery Button
Roman Coin
Barrel Tap
18th C Horse Boss (Rosette)

Then we moved on to a nearby Farm Shop, hoping they might of ploughed a small area. They had not, but the weeds had been sprayed off & we gave it a quick 1 hour go. Got the US padlock & a Tudor Button.

The meadow was fairly small (2 acres), we done 1/3rd last year & 1/3rd today. The grass will be too long next week, so the last 1/3rd we will leave for another year.

Crusader, it seems that when you folks find Roman era coins, there isn't much excitement of them. Are they that prevolent in England/Europe?

Dad told me about an article where a guy in England hunted over 30 years until he got his first Roman Coin. I think it took me about 10 years. However, Dad & I (+ 1 researcher) specialise in hunting down Iron Age & Roman Settlements (found 3 new ones this year), so much so that the Archies want to speak with us about our knowledge when they are researching. So when you find 1000 Roman Coins a year, they are only special in great condition.

Nope, it was 4 hours, & it was good to get out, but that was about all.
