This is the Stubble Field we have being working & we have covered it fairly quickly as its pretty quiet, so should finish it in about 10 hours or so.
The field lived up to its name (random) we recently gave it, because the only thing we expected today was the unexpected.
Most other fields we can have an educated guess as to what to expect, but this one just throws out surprises of all periods
Cru'dad got on the score sheet early on with a broken
enamelled Medieval Horse Harness Pendant. Then it was dead for 4 hours until we finished the middle section & I was heading over to the water & jackets when I got a hammered Shortcross 
Followed by 2 more in less than 1 hour 
(these came from the other side of the field in a trashy area close to the farm)
My first complete Penny of Alexander III circa 1280 (Scottish!)
Shortcross has me stumped as its spelling fits nothing in the books - +SIH[

It one of the most common roman coin finds, we get over 1000 Roman Bronze Coins a year. Everyone is GPSed & weighed, die axis record, Date found, Field Found, denomination, size in mm's, letter visible on each side recorded, condition of both sides recorded seperately, mint variations recorded, date, ruler, metal type, plus RIC no.s where known - bacically to the British Museum standard & as per your link. But very few UK detectorist GPS every grot/scrappy coin like the one pictured, so we have thousands of records like this one 
.....might have to look into it myself
