new site gives 9 coins in 30 minutes

[strike it rich]

Many members here have stated research is the key let me state for the record yes I agree 110%

After studying local maps I found a port dating from the 12th century until now when first starting a new site I tend to do a quick search first of all.

No griding no search patterns just random searching I find this indicates the potential richness of a particular site if this proves fruitfull I then start to do a through grid of the area in question.

Using this method I quickly unearthed nine coins on of course the usual fishing weights in a 3m times 3m square.

the coins where in bad condition the earlist date I can make out is 1928 an old penny right though to new currency.

when I finish this I hope great site I will do a complete write up with photos both of the finds and the area.

Did you say the 12th Century, OMG were in the world could that be and here I am thinking that the 18th and 19th century is old. Man it's just hard to get a handle on that. Cool dude!

Thanks for the reply its one yes it is pretty astounding that its been a port for that long mainly turning up early-mid 20th century stuff but I live in hope that it will produced a few older finds
