''The Hill'' - Day 1 - 5 Hammered & SAXON SCEAT...

[CRUSADER]

This was a Plan C option. Plan A - to finish off the Unnamed Roman Site & Plan B to do 'The Trackway' Site meant walking too far from the car in what was predicted to be a very rainy day. As it turned out it, only a small amount of light rain came, so there was no real need to change our plans!
However, as luck would have it, I'm sure we would never have done this well, so this area now slides to the top of the list....
This field is a huge field which includes areas of Plan A & B so it has the benefit of the huge 12" turn!

Hi, welcome back, we are on a roll with these this year, had 4 in 2 outings, only last month!

 

[woody50]

I have found only 4 in all my years of searching, so that is great, nice land to search. So to see you two are still busy with searching. I have not been out for 4 years, but plan to go soon with my new detector. Corona, getting married (3rd) and moving has kept me busy, and the nice summer, just stayed at the camping for 5 months.... Take care.

 

[CRUSADER]

Take care.

You too & good luck when you get back out.
