Roman Lion Site - Day 3 - 2 X ROMAN SILVER...

[CRUSADER]

Firstly the first picture includes 2 scrappies & a Roman Stud from Cru'Dad's short hunt yesterday on the Roman Mansio Site. (now drilled with grass) It also includes 2 scrappies & a Roman Stud from our quick 1 hour search on the new Roman Site.
We changed to plan B & spent the next 4 hours on the Roman Lion Site - ankle breaker. I'm really glad we did. (tough for Cru'Dad but he stuck it out for 3 of the 4 hours!) Several of my finds were on the top, including the brooches & the nice silver, if the power hoe got to these surface finds who knows what state they would be in, as the soil is very sandy here. Hence all the edge knocks on many of the coins.

Roman Lion Site;

31 Roman Bronze Coins - Love the large Follis of Constantius I
Roman Steel-yard Weight
Roman Fibula - 1st C AD
Very nice rare & complete 6th C AD Saxon Small-Long Brooch - Might indicate the site continued past the Roman period.
2 Roman Silvers - Probable imitation of Sept-Sev, & a stunning Geta AD199. (father & son, we found the other son/brother in this field last time!)- Both found by me, but I nicked the best one off of Cru'Dad's run.

I think its off a Roman shopping trolley.

That follis was deep & on its side, it took a deep big hole to get it.

The Saxon Brooch is the 2nd one off this site, along with a possible bit of pot shard, so we might have a bit of continuity.
It was tough & my feet were a bit beaten up but when your saving finds that haven't seen the light of day for many years its worth it.
