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 :icon_scratch: Not sure if it went on a horse leather :dontknow:

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 :wink:
Got a Georgian Horse Brass with 'RW'
1699 Halfpenny (don't normally see dates on these ones)
Hen (Britains) ;D - right in the centre of the Roman Site :laughing9:
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 :laughing7:
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 :(



What a shame, after you've waited all this time :-\

Just heard, we are stuffed!
They drilled rape straight into the stubble, so opportunity lost :'(
