Dad & I started on one of our fav Roman Sites but after 1 hour over the best area with a zero result we released that our 4 best sites on this farm are a no go this year. We did them well last year & they are not ploughing & direct drilling into the stubble.
So we moved to a spot that Landmag & I had scouted on a new farm. I had got 1 Roman Coin & the Geological Maps showed soil that the ancients favoured, so I thought it a good spot. (plus the cropmarks were present)
Almost immediately we hit into the coins, game on, grid on, after 4 hours we had:
36 Roman Coins (some good album types)
Roman Key Handle
Roman Locking Pin Terminal
Romano-Celtic Ring (top of)
Hammered Charles I Halfgroat
Tiny Hammered Farthing Edward III
Buckles
Silver Roman Ring (bent up) - Needs declaring as Treasure
So another new site confirmed & a pretty good start on it!
