The morning session was our last chance to try a field that I've been meaning to do for some weeks. It had a Spring crop but the farmer was happy for us to dig in it. Cru'dad had tried this field without any recordables but I wanted to try it before we crossed it off. We tried it for 2 hours & had some Pistol shot/Musket Balls, Medieval Buckle, Scrappy & a Seal Matrix. Just enough to keep it on the bottom of the list. We then tried the next door field by the Church but had little success after 1 hour.
After lunch we moved to the Newly discovered Roman Site to do some more tyre tracks & ended up with another 5 Coins after 1 hour 15 minutes. As luck would have it we saw the land-owner for the first time & he was over the moon that he had a Roman Site on his land.

Morning 3 Hours;

1 Scrappy
15 Pistol/Musket Balls (maybe our best total in 3 hours!)
19th C Ornate Horse Rein Guide (a first)
Medieval Buckle
Medieval Mount
14th C Seal Matrix with Hawk Catching a hare.:icon_thumright:

After Lunch;
5 Roman Coins - 3 OK8-)
Shoe Buckle
Bits...

Wow, I am amazed at how well some of those bronze Romans come out of the ground! Were they from an area where no fertilizer was used? That seal is a great find!

It's odd, as its in a heavy clay environment on ploughed land with fertilizers, so they are real survivors. (It helps they are slightly better quality metal)
