This is probably our last day this year, so picked a change of scenery.
This is another huge field close to the others we have been doing & it too had a deep 12" + plough.
We explored this huge field & the only good area is just over 1 acre which is like an inlet towards the nearby Village. Probably once its own small field. It produced a couple of Rare coins, a few hammered & a few modern silvers, so it seemed a safe bet after this big plough.
In 4 hours 45 mins we gridded about 55% of it but made sure we did 90% of the most productive area. We will leave the last area in reserve.
1 Holed Roman Coin
17th C Nipple Button
Jetton
Large 14th C Medieval Buckle, Plate & Pin (Good complete example, clearly came up from the protected depths)
Roman Bracelet piece
Medieval Key
Lovely 13th C Annular Buckle with Latin Inscription (need this type)
1934 Sixpence
Silver Pin 'like' object that once attached to a Victorian?
Victorian Silver Cuff-Stud
Hammered Cut Half-Penny - Short-cross
Roman Silver of Faustina I Circa AD147 (Reverse type we need) - Funny thing is, I mentioned to Cru'dad at the start that it would be nice to get a Roman Silver, even though we have never had one off this field.
This is what happened the last time we were here; (funny enough I got all the silver coins today as well!)

8 Silver Day - Harold I, Harefoot, 1035 - 1040 !!!
The last time we were here was nearly 3 years ago & we had a great 2.5 hour grid: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/561317-edward-confessor-penny-1059-62-few-more-firsts.html Our plan was simple we had 1 go at this field, as it was a few days behind 'The Hill' field & the Winter...
