Roman Metal Working Site - Day 4...

Team was back together for 4 hours of gridding (8 man hours). We are pretty pleased with the result as we were gridding in the less dense area.

23 Roman Coins

IMP C M AVR CL QVINTILLVS AVG, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right.
LAETITIA AVG, Laetitia standing left, holding wreath and anchor on globe. XII in right field.

Looks like a good day to me. A rare coin, a hard to find complete hairpin and the small weight. You're lucky to have land which was pasture for a long time. I have never seen a hair pin coming up other than broken.

Lost count of how many broken ones we have, however it must be the year for it, because I think I only have 2 others complete in all our other years combined.

Ok, then there's still hope...
