New Field...Hotspot.... Hit the SILVER CELTIC

[CRUSADER]

We travelled back to the hotspot we found yesterday to continue our gridding.

The roman coins were less concentrated but we still got 17 in 5 hours (10 man hours). Picked up plenty of roman tesseri, all large reworked roofing tiles. This floor would have been a basic practical one for the industrial workers. I was really hoping for a Roman Silver Coin of this site, later I realised these workers would not be carry to many of these around. Its not the same as a normal Villa site.

As I was teasing Dad that I didn't care that he is 8 to my 5 roman coins, because I'm going to get the nice Roman Silver, (We finished with a score of 9 / 8 to me) I dug a CELTIC SILVER :

TASCIOVANUS - 10BC-20AD - Winged Horse Left, Griffin right In great condition as well. This makes up for 20 roman silver at least. Its my 3rd Celtic Coin this year (2 silver, 1 gold)!

2 Roman Brooches
1 Roman pinhead
My first Roman Phallic Pendant
Celtic fittment - whatzit
Stunning part of a Norman hawking swivell (might be early med, but I'm betting on Norman) - Rare
My first Coin of NERO AD67
I very nice crotal bell

What a difference a weekend on the right field makes. The crop will be showing soon, so today maybe it for awhile.

Hi Cru, just great finds and Again! How do you two do it? All the finds are just great! The bell is also great, of course along with your silver Celtic and artifacts, especially the pendant! What is the object on the left side of the 4th photo, looks like a ring but is it that?

Kind words, thanks. We only do so well because we are obsessive & spend many hours out in Gods country.

If your Cob is silver then your one up on me. Spanish Silver is still on my wish list (no. 6).
