New Land - another new Hotspot - WOW........

[CRUSADER]

Got up early & packed our lunch as the new land is a massive 45mins away We only had one field left that was not in crop, it was huge. We started nearest the old roman road without much joy. I did my usual bloodhound thing & went to sniff out a good area. Dad was left behind. I found an area which had slightly darker soil, 1 piece of pot & 1 bit of lead. That was enough for me to start gridding. By lunch time I had a 1675 Charles II Penny (my first ever) & 3 roman coins. Dad at the other end of the field saw my universal sign for 'come over' when I was gridding. He had found nothing & we stopped for lunch, more importantly I had found where we were to consentrate our efforts.

After lunch the Roman coins flowed & Dad had two roman silver before I got my first. Then we had to decided to grid left or right. We both agreed left & got many more items:

28 roman bronze coins - most in 1 day this year.
4 Roman silver - Most in 1 day EVER (Beat last years 8 & made our 10 target)
(Caracalla AD195-217 & 3 clipped Siliqua of the 4th century)
Part of a Roman steel yard weight (balance arm)
Medieval Sword Chape

Roman Bronze Knife Terminal of MARS - no.4 on my wish list (3rd item I have found off my top 6 wish list all this year!)

Your not wrong. I was going to go home happy with the 1675 silver coin. Big field with not much signals, until I hit the right area. I wish all the land I did was this good! Tomorrow will be our last chance, its going to be cold & wet, but who would care with a chance like this?

Thats the Charles II 1675 Penny. Very small & a first for me.

The Roman bronze statuette of Mars is exquisite. You are a fortunate fellow.

I found it in a Roman grave along with a chunk of silver

Anyone that has seen me eat will know I'm greedy.

This was the new land that we have been taking slices out of. Took us months to find the two best spots. However still plenty to search & it looks like a golden opportunity to map finds from a site which has probably never been searched.

PS.
We checked the 2nd Fav field & its still in stubble. He will have to spray off the weeds first which will give us a clue that the plough will follow. Stay ready!
