For the first 1 hour we tried a new area where a small rectangular crop-marks showed up on the aerials. Blank. So we then moved back to where a few Roman Coins & the odd bit of Saxon came from & did a little better. I now have a theory, that the Roman Coins in this small Saxon Settlement where lost in that period & not the Roman, as all the evidence I'm finding including pottery is Saxon with no other evidence of Roman occupation.
Cru'Dad gridded for 3 Hours & I did just less than 5 Hours.

Nice strap end and W3 sixpence. Love the Roman billon as well.

Great finds as always Cru
 

Nice relic hunt a few coins to top it off, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

Thanks all.
Although its not a good example, the broken Roman Silver was something I was hoping for before the end of year. So as to round us off to 30!
