I wanted to make sure the next time I hit this field it was with the kind friend who gained us permission to search it. He has yet to find a Roman Coin & we were positive about this field being the one to break his duck. He could only do a couple of hours in the morning as he is very busy. We agreed a strategy which I believe put him in the best place for a coin & Dad & I probed the limits. The wheat stubble is still terrible & it took a little while but I got a really nice coin (VOT X Reverse), as I walked over to show Dad & newbie, Dad got a Roman as well (talk about this one in a minute). So our strategy failed & Dad ended up with another two scrappies. Although the Newbie did OK with his first Roman Steelyard weight, nice livery button & a medieval swivel piece.
Nice little Bronze Bead (Roman probably).
4 Roman Coins
Nice Spur Buckle
As far as we can tell we found an UNLISTED (not in Sears) Reverse type Legend for an 'AS' of Gordian III:
IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG
P M TR P V COS II P P (S C in field) Does anyone has RICs, is it in there? Its no-where on the internet, from our study. This inscription was used on the Sestertius & Antoninianus but not the 'AS'. Must be pretty rare
So, not much but quality coins to add to the album.

Antoninianus coin wasn't mentioned, Cru said he thought it was a Ae Ass, which is a Bronze coin, nothing to do with a debased Silver coin, an Ae Ass is a lower value Bronze coin, 4 asses to one Sestertius.
