Scouting limits of 2 Roman Sites...

[CRUSADER]

Only had time for a late afternoon hunt, so Dad & I braved the Wheat Stubble on a field next to a site we discovered last year. We only did the combine tracks (for easy) & for getting an idea where the limits of the site were. Pictures 1-3. Found a very unusual Roman? Mount, it looks a little Medieval but the fixing on the reverse is consistant with other roman Mounts I have Not sure if it went on a horse leather

When we were happy we knew how far into the field the spread went, we moved on to another Wheat Stubble Field (the one I had the Saxon Stirrup Mount from).
Pictures 4 & 5 were an hour on this field, the coin spread on this field is massive, in better conditions we have a lot of acres to cover & many coins to dig
Got a Georgian Horse Brass with 'RW'
1699 Halfpenny (don't normally see dates on these ones)
Hen (Britains) - right in the centre of the Roman Site
7 Roman Coins - general condition from this field seems OK.

Some of them Romans are in great nick! You should camp on that field so you don't miss your chance
My farmer has just drilled straight into the stubble

You just stated our greatest concern with this potential amazing (Celtic/Roman/Saxon) Site. We have an agreement with this farm not to detect after drilling, I don't think we will get much more off

I know, we are a victims of our own success, stretching ourselves thin whilst the farmers are trying to do the same thing.
I hear off 1 owner, they are going to try (for the first time) & drill in bean directly into Rape stocks to save money Hard times :P

You sure seem to have a Roman slant to your area, well done once again.

Dumb question of the day: What's the drilling thing about?

After much research, the Roman areas became more obvious, once you understand the sites & the ways they interconnect then things fall into place. Most Archy knowledge is about the major routeways, we have focused on the minor.


Drilling is a farming term, meaning to put seed into the ground. (includes any beans etc,,)

You've never found a button? Quite a few get dug, but I've never paid much attention to what part of the UK.
