Over 50 Bronzes & then rewarded...

Went back to the uneven ploughed field we did last Sunday, its one of our last few options.

Amazingly we had 54 Roman Bronze coins in 6 hours (12 man hours), the same total as the whole of last year on this particular field. We had 4 Roman Silver off here last year & were hoping for more. It wasn't until our last run that Cru'dad got a very clipped Siliqua, probably Honorus

Lots of Roman Pottery pieces..
An early Royal Artillery Button of a variant I need
Medieval Casket Key
Medieval Buckle
Roman Pin Head
Roman Lead steelyard Weight
Very please with the steel?/iron? pistol hammer, a first for me 8) Another good reason to clear crappy signals.
Bits...

Like the button! One I still need, but given my drought I'll take pretty much anything I can get!

...and the silver ain't bad either!

Wow, I thought you may have had this one. Its shank is complete, so I pleased for it to join my collection.

It was a lovely day & the rain came later than forecast, so it was more enjoyable than normal.

I don't think I've seen anyone dig one of those here. Kind of a surprise because it easily dates to many of our sites, especially if it's one piece.

Yeah, its a typical domed 1 piece. It has a motto or reg at the bottom in a banner, but can't make out the writting.

UBIQUE (Everywhere)

Nice finds and hunt! Must have been a large village there or market place. Those coins you cleaned came out very nice. HH, Mike

Can't even talk or type. A whole display for me in one hunt,amazing Cru. You must stay down digging holes as much as you are up swinging the detector. Way to show how it's done again Cru.

Very little 'down' with my detecting, no knee pads & knife, just a bend & grab & into the pouch

Gottcha, no knee pads for me either no gloves either raw and to the point. But do carry a machete as I have learned I can be in the middle of a wide open area although not often for me on a wide open area but if so seems a root as big as my arm will be right there in my way. Forgot you hunt the fields but even here I think a spade would be needed in most fields here not very easy dirt here to just plunge in with a hand and pick out coins or anything. Do you use a spade with the handle maybe?

medium light weight spade, perfect height to use as a walking stick, ie. keeps me balanced on rough ploughed land.
