Roman/Iron Age Site...

[CRUSADER]

On my own today for 5 hours 45 mins.
This is another one of the sites that had a deep plough & Dad & I have had a Celtic Gold Coin each off this area, but not today...
I have already done 2 short hunts on this land & today I covered the whole of the main area, so that we can move on to another site this weekend.

22 Roman Bronze Coins, 3 OK ones.
2 Broken Fibula
Fossil
Very pleased with the Medieval Lead Button which still has it's iron shank

Just WOW!!! Congratulations.

WOW! Your three dug "OK" Roman coins look better out of the ground than our 100 year old coins do. The age of your finds always interests me.

Love those coins. They have incredible detail for being that old. Love to find some of those, but its not going to happen over here.

medievil button with intact shank? how in heavens name did that happen! & of course as always, amazing finds. I think one day I will "hitch hike" on a boat to your place so I can experience one of your digs. do you think they have a shipping lane for hitch hikers?

It could & it has, seen a few posted from the US. Although it's not quite the same as finding them after being lost nearly 2000 years ago.

Yes, very rare for iron shanks to survive that long, in ploughed soil as well.

Might be easier to swim instead........

Nice haul again! Like the ammonite. And three fairly good romans from that soil isn't bad either.

No, pretty good. Tomorrow will be a gamble.
