OUTSTANDING DAY...MEGA UPDATE!!!!!

CRUSADER · Feb 27, 2011

Specially at the worst time of the year!

This was our last day on this field & we made it count, we finished the site in just over 4 hours.

It will take some effort to beat this day :headbang:

24 Roman Bronze Coins
Lead Roman Steelyeard Weight
Roman Bronze Bead
2 Medieval Belt Mounts
4 Roman Silvers - 1st C Denarius, 2 debased 3rd C Ant.s, 1 Very nice Siliqua of Juilian II.
2 Celtic Bronzes - unidentified Bull Reverse & a Rues (Tasciovanus) AE Unit. ca 10 BC - 10 AD. Lion right / Eagle with spread wings.
1 Celtic Silver Unit - Cunobelin, ca. 10-43 A.D. Silver Unit. Draped and winged bust r.; CVNO. Rv. Sphinx seated l.; TASCIO. See similar:
http://www.stacks.com/Lot/ItemDetail/6259
Celtic Coins are rare to find, both of these types are very rare, so 3 in a day is a record for us.
Topped off with a 13th C Medieval Seal Matrix :thumbsup:

To quote my good friend civilman1... "Come on Jeff, flip the switch. Get this thing up top!!"

Re: OUTSTANDING DAY...

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm super pleased with the Celtic Silver, bearing in mind I only found 1 in the whole of last year

A better machine $:-\$ Although I'm more than happy with its performance. I don't need massive depth when I have so much trash to clear, although a deep machine maybe handy for this field which we have done well for 4 years :wink:

Wow!!! That's unreal

Definitely a banner day post

Thats what it felt like, I would have gone home happy with just the Seal Matrix. Its complete with loop & one of the earliest types produced

Another fantastic hunt and you did all that in 4 hours. I agree it was a banner days hunt but the moderators said you do not have any more room under your name

Just kidding. Thanks for sharing in another great hunt!
