Roman/Saxon Site - 8hrs+

[CRUSADER]

This site was our best chance at a Sceat this year (wasn't to be). It's a site we have hit hard over the years & it's one of the larger scatters, as sites go...Today we managed to grid 90% of this huge area in 8 hours 15 minutes. Most of the coins left were tiny. In fact we are pretty sure Cru'Dad now holds the Tinniest Coin Award.
We won't have to go back here for some years, the conditions were near perfect, flat & wet underneath.

51 Scrappies
Roman Pot Shards
Broken Roman Tweezers
Roman Bracelet bit
1570 Lizzy Sixpence (deep hit on my XP)

Glad to see you're back on the silver. I found an identical sixpence at my hammered silver site several years ago. Forgive me for posting it here, but thought you might be interested in seeing your coin's twin sister.

Great finds as usual Cru. Perfect conditions is not something we have in the Northeast US right now. It's bone dry here. We need jackhammers.

Nice silver

Yes, because they were all tiny.

Good variety of pottery. A bit of everything they made. No shards of the big storage vat? Congrats on the tiny bronze!

No, they tend to be early, this is a late Roman Site.
