Sprayed off Black-grass Field - Day 4...

[CRUSADER]

The first picture is from Cru'Dad's 2 hour hunt yesterday on a random field, no good signs, so it's off the list.

Today we gridded for just over 6 hours and nearly finished the whole Site, just a small 1/2 day effort left to finish a small annex. We had extended our search much further than we normally would just to check for any loses outside the known area. Picked up a few modern finds, couple of scrappies & a Brooch. The rest was mostly in the known scatter.

24 Roman Coins, 2 OK ones
Decorated Tombac Button
Roman Nail
1940s? toy Bike
2 Roman Hob-Nails
2nd-3rd C AD Roman Plate Brooch
Mystery Roman plated Leather Mount (Type I've not seen)

Love the Viking motorcycle brooch.

:P

Well done.

Even your "worst" hunts produce the goods. Ya' gotta' love walking over real history. Going from "modern" relics to ancient in a few strides. That's totally cool.

I don't thing 24 Roman coins is in my category of worst, but it is a little disappointing to cover over 10 acres & not get a Silver. We have had one every year we search it. So, any left are deep or we got them.

Roman Coins added to top.

I always like finding the Roman Coins with the iron stained red hue caused by wet areas of the land.

Gives them a different appearance and most you post look like the iron preserves the patina from damage due to fertilizer.

Congrats to you both on some more nice finds
