Thanks a lot!

Yes we are blessed with the history amounts! And for us this finds are very nice, but we always look for something at least 1000 years old... :laughing9:

Cheers and thanks for looking!

Thanks for the comments!

Don't know about Hispan, I guess he is in vacation, in two days is the epiphany so lots of family trips and parties!
I hope he comes back soon!

Nice coins! Did You had other finds in this field? I never see trash in Your posts. I need a field where only good signals are...

They hardly exist, all my better fields are trashy. Although some Roman sites that fell out of favour after the Roman period have just Lead as junk. But I never worry about that because its a good sign & it recycles well. :icon_thumright:

Thanks for the comments!

Some trash, but not that much, maybe 5 to 1, which I thinks it's very good.

Depends on the field, some roman fields have a 10 to 1, and most of the trash is leAd so it sounds great, but not good target!
next post I will put a field pic with all the trash
Cheers

Hi Cru

Roman lead is a good signal! I was more interested if the fields down there have as much modern trash as ours here. I think it's more german related with all that bullets and casings. Like Your buttons from fertilizing fields with uniforms...

Thanks! My question was not explicit, sorry. I was referring to modern junk, like foil, bottle caps and so. 5 to 1 IS very good! At least when thinking about our average ratio...

I try to hunt the fields with little modern trash, sometimes we find fields with lots of bullets from our civil war. If there is a lot of modern trash it makes the day miserable...

Cheers
