Hello everyone, haven't posted in a while.
We were out detecting an area where Roman activity was suspected.
DISCLAIMER
THESE OBJECTS ARE GOING TO BE DONATED TO THE MUSEUM
(TO PREVENT PROBLEMS IF PEOPLE DO NOT READ THE WHOLE POST AND JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS)
So it was my third time out with the DEUS light V4.0.
So far I am pretty happy with the machine, light and fast. My main complaint for now would be that it falses a lot on Iron, even if the Iron is not too deep and also on medium sized Iron which is not so big, so well I guess I need more experience.
Anyway this day I was using the deep program because here anything might turn up and the area was rather clear.
Glad I did.
And also glad the Deus fooled me with a high tone on an iron object because the first good find of the day was a Roman Age Iron spear tip.
(Not yet fully established if it is Roman or Dacian)
Later that day I found 2 bronze age axe heads.
Both were very deep, one about 30cm and the other even deeper about 40cm so I can not complain about the Deus depth with 11" coil deep program.
The small one is actually only the blade of the axe without the shaft and looks like t has been broken for earth sacrifice the other one is very very corroded. Still awesome to hold something that has been in the ground for 3000-4000 years.
(Thanks Lu for the pic)
One seems to be a "Flachbeil" the other a longer "Randleistenbeil" sorry I do not know the English terms for these and the internet gives conflicting info about them, they are different types of Axes which continuously evolved during different periods in the bronze axe..
Unfortunately I can not show the full beauty of the spear which is in very good condition because I have not even washed the dirt off of it.
This is because as an iron find it needs to be immediately conserved with vinegar and Salt and distilled water after washing in order to prevent it from crumbling apart.
Since I will be donating these objects to the local history museum I will not do the preservation myself I am hoping they have professional restaurateurs who will do a nice job.
The spear will have a nice black color some day then hopefully.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
