Roman Mansio Site...

[CRUSADER]

The land-owners of one of our best sites let us know that they were moving some soil in preparation of a new agricultural building. We used this opportunity to call in our Archie mates to do a watching brief & to look at the sub-soil.
We learnt that in this area there was no archaeology & the natural was very shallow.
Our lead Archie found the 1905 medallion with his eyes whilst looking for pottery in the spoil.
It only took me 1 hour to do the flatten area where I got 3 scrappies.
The spoil I have left for Cru'Dad.

Thanks for always posting your finds Cru It amazes me how old the stuff you find is. I live in a City founded in 1826 so those kinds of finds aren't going to happen here. I do love to see that kind of old coins and relics. I'm sure you have a great collection of Historic items that you have and some day will tell a story for future generations. I think so much history in the ground will be gone forever if not for people like you and me also!!!!!!! I would love a really old coin for my display case. I cant convince my wife to go on a trip to England kids come first and all that lol Plus I might not want to come back!!!!!Thanks again for the great post!!!Tommy
