It's the usual race against time as this field is due to be drilled this week & we have tons of area to cover. It's still very dry here & many times we are having to try & smash coins out of solid clay lumps.

Monday 6 hours;

51 Roman Bronze Coins
1 Debased Silver Coin
Celtic Fibula
Roman Fibula
2 Hob Nails
Broken Top of Roman Nail Cleaner
Bits...



Today 5 Hours;

35 Roman Bronze Coins
3 Debased Silver Coins
Roman Fibula Top & Catch-plate
1 Nob Nail
Roman Plate Brooch
Roman Pin (type I need)
Jetton
Roman Ring? (made from broken bracelet)

Can you throw the clumps in a bucket and take them home to find what's inside say after dinner? I know I wouldn't want to waste time in the field either.

As always, amazing history you dig over there. Thanks for sharing.

Not really, as we GPS & log on paper every Roman Coin, & then they go in a numbered pouch in Cru'dads pocket.

Great work CRUSADER!
You've got more than a detector, you've got second sight! Congrats!

This is amazing. Might be worth a trip England to find something this old.

 

[Westfront]

That bunch of coins looks good!

An amazing selection of finds, Cru. Congrats. And by the way it has been wet over here all summer. It has made for nice digging.

Both of them have this year, it's Cru'dad that needs them....lol

We would be happy with a Celtic Silver. The first one I got this year already came from this site, & although there will be more, its always a long shot. Even a nice early Roman silver will do.

Complete opposite, its been the hottest summer ever on record. Hated it.

Incredible CRU! I hope to one day get over that direction for some detecting and hope to get just a few of those items. Very cool man.

 

[Whyme]

Boy I would love to find a coin that old and hold in in my hand and wonder how it was lost. Great finds again!
