Dad had been checking a field that had a sugar-beat crop & was late due to the wet conditions. They harvested it this week & just in time before the last processing factory closed. Whilst this field was too deeply ploughed to try, another nearby one was flat & ready to drill. It's a field that butts up to a Roman Quarry but we have never found that much, so rarely do it. Conditions were perfect so we settled in for the slog.
Funny thing was, that even with this monster of a field, I managed to start gridding right in the middle of a hotspot!

I had 3 hammered in 6 hours, best 1 day total this year & Dad added another!

Good stuff! I wish we had the opportunity in the states to find things like that.

Really nice finds, it always amazes me how far history goes back. Where I am from a 150 year old find would be considered exceptional.

Great finds. Do you have any idea what the item in the third picture from the top above the spoon bowl is? I found one in England several years ago. Thanks.
Dennis.
