The new land we have gained permission for only had 1 likely target (not counting the nearby Church) which was only just visible as a faint cropmark. It was also musked by the stitching together of 2 timelines on Google Earth, & only brought to light by Land-Mag's research.
When we got to the spot it was a classic looking Roman Site on top of a hill & 1000 metres from the road.
We were not really out to detect (out for less than 2 hours), just scouting the spot. It was only Dad who had the Cortes & I was field walking. I got plenty of Roman Pot Shards so we thought the game was on...
Sadly it seems to have been done, as very few good signs came up, just 1 bit of lead & a couple of nails.

The only good find was a late Medieval Leather Mount (Cherub face).
The brass pouring spout looked interesting but I think it's post-medieval!

A lot of pot always indicate something, but not just for you ...

Yeap, we will grid hard & mop up the remains, might not be much but its our best lead right now.
 

Good luck my friend!
On my new place I no see a piece of pottery.

Perhaps this field will provide some finds as the search widens? Early days.
 

Nice mount, it could all change with the plow.
 

Post-medieval? Ahhhh rats! lol

I thought I may get that reaction, it's just seemed Ancient when undercovered. I still have no idea of the type of object it broke from.
 

Perseverance always works, keep them coming
 

Looks like your scouting payed off.hopefully it will produce some more great discovery's. Keep up the great work and congratulations.
