Not even 1 Button...

[CRUSADER]

Our options at this time of year is close to zero, but we heard about a small area of bird cover that had been disced up. The aim of today was to get a few Roman Coins as we have only had 4 this month (so far). We covered the small 1.5 acres slowly in just over 5 hours. We have previous covered this area 3 times, so we didn't expect much in the shallow 3inch turn over, which was fairly choppy as well. We cleared ever last tiny iron nail & will not need to return to this area again (unless they deep plough, which is rare)

5 Roman Coins
1 Roman Fibula
2 6th Century Saxon Brooch fragments - a rare surprise, specially as its the first Saxon off this farm.8)8)

Cru , I'm pretty sure that in nearly five years on this site , I have never seen a post of yours that didn't have
a handful of buttons (if not a drawer full ) Argentium.

I know, I find it hard to remember if this has EVER happened before.... It is a rural Roman site in the middle of no-where, & we haven't had very many buttons on previous trips here, so clearly we are good at clearing them off quickly.

Wow. That is an unusual site. Still great to get Roman and even Saxon--and that means that there are possibilities there perhaps without digging a lot of more modern stuff.

Cheers,

The way I look at 'not finding much' is . . .
a bad day at detecting beats a good day at work any day!
Of course a 'bad day' for you and your Dad would be a 'great day' for me any day!

Best of luck to you guys!
