I finally got around to making a trip across the pond. We timed it so that we could make Detectival. Although I didn't find anything at the event, it was a pretty cool experience. We met lots of detectorists from all over and we hooked up with a FLO who agreed to help us find places to hunt for the remainder of our two week trip.
Before I left the U.S. I got it into my head that if I could find at least one Roman coin the trip would be a success and a fibula would be icing on the cake. About 5 days into the trip we got on a field that the locals said produced more Roman items than anything else. However, they said it had been hunted a lot. We hunted it two days and I found my Roman coin, fibula and more! I ended up with 12 Roman coins the fibula and a bronze Roman ring!
By the end of the trip and 6 or 8 fields hunted I also had a handful of 1600s-1800s coins and buttons. The UK guys were not impressed with those but I like them! I even found the little pin with our flags together in the car rental parking lot. Fitting for this trip!
