The hammered that nearly got past me!

[CRUSADER]

I started gridding from the opposite end of the field today. We had done quite well here before the deep plough, so I was hoping for more good stuff.
After 3.5 hours of not much except the Roman (I will mention later), my mind was beginning to wonder. The plough marks which I was following for my gridding got a bit unstraight & I straightened it by missing out a small section about 1 run width & 3/4s of the length. My mind said 'carry on your not getting much anyway, leave it'. I battled with myself & thought 'no I will fill the gap, stick to the system'. I filled the gap & half down I got the only hammered of the day. Could have been a different story

My lucky - Henry V Hammered
My first Roman Coin of Tacitus AD275-76 - Silvered AE Antoninianus. Ticinum mint. IMP C M CL TACITVS AVG, radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right / VICTORIA GOTTHI, Victory standing left, holding wreath & palm, P in ex.

I remembered saying to people I have recently taught, do it systematically & cover it all. I doubled back, thinking most of the way that I was wasting my time, & out she popped, didn't have time to think it was a good signal. Good job I listerned to myself on this occasion!

Congrats on the Henry V Hammered ....nice coin.





Henry V (16 September 1386 – 31 August 1422) was King of England from 1413 until his death. From an unassuming start his military successes in the Hundred Years' War, culminating with his famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt, come close to uniting the realms of England and France under his rule.
