Roman Hill Top Site...GOOD DAY!

[CRUSADER]

We spotted this field yesterday whilst scouting about. It had a large amount of failed oilseed rape so we thought we would try it out. When we got to the top of the hill where we have a Roman Site, we saw that area was perfectly flat & recently seeded. Therefore we started to grid over the previously productive spot.
We finished just shy of 5 hours with an excellent result for this time of year:

15 Roman Bronze Coins
2 Hammered - Charles I Penny & Cut Shortcross of Henry III
Siliqua of Julian II First Roman Silver off this site after 4 years hunting.
2 Jettons
Livery Button
Lead Medieval Button & a small Tudor type
Cuff link (hard to picture) - 2 heads left - new type for me
Tudor Clothes Hook
Part of a Medieval Mirror Case Lid (for capturing the image of the Saints)
Medieval Buckle Plate

Bear in mind, I keep all Dads finds, so this is 10 man hours.

P.S. This forum needs a drooling smiley.

In ploughed land, none of them are very deep, Dad picked one off the top. That's why we don't often do grass land.

We clean them with warm soapy water. Very rarely, if one is heavily encrusted, I blast it with electrolysis to get an ID. I never try & clean the silver coins, however yesterday the coin was so black, I rubbed it with spit & aluminium foil to highlight the letters.

That Livery button is circa 1850s, it has a sitting Greyhound with a Deers head in front. (new type for me, I think)

What a dad! Like I told someone on here a few weeks ago, dads are the best treasure! I have a super one, too.
