I'm so glad I took a day off work today. Some days you are just blessed, because after this heat wave (dried the ground) we had some rain over night, just enough, & a lovely cool windy, cloudy day - perfect. Better than that if I had turn up tomorrow (like planned) it would have been too late as the beans were starting to show, which is the time to get off!
I was solo hunting in the morning for 3 hours & picked up 26 coins before Cru'dad arrived with lunch. We then did another 3 hours & 15 minutes together, by which point we had 60 Roman Bronze Coins. Which after being told this by Cru'dad I started off back to the car & said 'we just need 1 Roman Silver' & less than 30 seconds later - BOOM! A stunner! I/we acted a little crazy & turned our detectors off & went home. Funny how you can grid about 2.5 acres with none & get one OTWBTTC (even if it was just a few paces).
60 Roman Bronze Coins - Best 1 day total this year, plus a RARE Carausius (PAX AVGGG)
Roman spoon Handle
Roman Hair Pin
Medieval Buckle
Roman Fibula piece
Roman Key piece
2 Roman Whatzits
Roman Bracelet bit made into a ring
Hammered Cut-halfpenny of Henry III
Denarius of Commodus AD183
The initial recording of these coins took Cru'dad 3 hours which is about the same amount of time he was detecting. Thats without the further 3 hours of resourcing, electronic recording & mapping.
