Roman Lion Site - Day 2 + 3...

[CRUSADER]

I decided to call this site after its best find, the Votive Lion. Over the last 2 days of gridding the middle section where the most amount of Roman Pot came from we began to see the number of Roman Coins drop off. Actually on day 1 we hit the sweet spot right off the bat. As we covered the more obvious spot it must be an area the other detectorist has done, as we would have expected more coins with the lead & pot shards. Instead of Roman Silver we got a couple of hammered instead, so that was helpful. The next few sessions will be pretty tough in comparison but the whole area needs a once over.

9 hours in 2 days:

Tin of all the Roman Pot Shards, so far...
19 Roman Bronze Coins from yesterday
14 Roman Bronze Coins from today
Our largest & new type of Roman Key Handle
19th C Pewter Tea Cup
Half a Tudor Buckle
Mystery Roman Bronze thingy
2 Hammered, good one is a James I Halfgroat, 1603-04.

Notice no buttons in 3 days...

To get so many coins and no buttons is a strange combination! Usually it's the other way around for me. Love the hammered silvers!

Don't you think it's a pull/chest handle? The straight end could be broken off too. Maybe there was another decoration attached there.

Both ends are broken, & the slight bent end may have been straight as well before breaking, unsure??
